From http://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/others2008/beachdown/

Beachdown Festival will set up camp on the outskirts of Brighton, (just behind Devil's Dyke!) set on the South Downs in East Sussex, this August Bank Holiday, from Friday 22nd – Monday 25th August.

The parking facilities will be located off site, so as not to disturb or damage the natural environment of the south downs. Car parks will be utilised at the nearby Hickstead Showground and at Shoreham Airport, where buses will ferry festival goers from their car directly to the camp site.

Harnesses

The next cub coaching meeting will be held (as always) at Glynde Social Club on August 28th at 7.30pm. The topic will be harnesses, and Tim King has kindly agreed to give a talk and guidance on the subject.

This will be a great chance for us all to understand more about how to set up a harness properly, what harness is best for the wing we fly, how each harness affects the performance of our wing and so on.

You will be more than welcome to bring your harness along to get help in setting it up properly and have it looked at by someone who knows what they are talking about.

Open RRC Competition 2008: This will be bigger and earlier in the year this time. Again, although an informal and fun affair, it will include challenges and tasks for pilots of all levels of ability, with worthwhile prizes. Sunday 31st August is the day you need to put in your diary, with September 6th & 7th as reserve dates if the weather is naff.
Fly safely - Bernard.

Mere Bash

End: 7 Sep 2008 - 23:59

What with the cancellation of the HomeGrown, there is at least an alternative. The Avon Club are running the annual Mere Bash, about 30 miles south of Bristol. Its a mega fun event, and we will have three bands this year, in our marquee. Cheap beer, bouncy Castle for the kids, and a good laugh is guaranteed, whatever the weather.

Feel free to come on down.

Heres a message from Richard Danbury, the Chairman
