H&R MFRC Community Fall Fair - 14 September 2019

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

PSP has approached us to put on a small static display on the 14th of Sept (11am -2pm) at the Shearwater MFRC during their fall fair, I will have to check again with Matt and see if we can have more than one table, Hopefully two. There are only 5 tables available for all clubs and PSP at the event. This will be our best chance to pickup more Military members as this event is focused at military personnel (more so than the Spring Hobby show). I'm looking for 2-3 people to help man the table(s) and answer questions from the spectators. we will need small and medium sized aircraft (and drones) to display. Sorry guys but no room for large scale aircraft. I'll have all kinds of handouts and business cards made up.

If more than 3 people want to help out we can do 1 hour shifts and change out planes as the day goes on but it is only a 3 hr event. let me know if your interested in helping out and displaying your aircraft. either respond here or PM me here on the forum (krmckay) and I'll put together a schedule (if necessary).

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

I'm still waiting on any replies. if you want to display a plane or help out with manning the table let me know. Matt won't be back into work until the middle of next week so I can finalize the details. I will need to know if anyone will be helping by 9 Sept.

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

Thanks anyway Eric

[coyote]

i thought I had mention my tri-plane avail and I have a bunch of older magazines we could give away

Cell has been spotty at best

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

Marc, where do you live (Hell?) I did not lose power, my cell works fine. I would never know a hurricane came thru here in "God's Country".

I have made up handouts and business cards so hope we can generate some interest.

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

I received confirmation we have two tables for the Fall Fair.

Cole Harbour - Home of Cindy Crosby, power went off Sat afternoon and got it back Tue afternoon

Kept my Dorian beard going until this is over. 10+ hour days for about a week - I'm getting too old for this (as the white in the beard would indicate).

[coyote]

Kevin

Confirmed

I will be working Sat and Sun and will not be at the fair or flying field

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

They will owe you lots of time off !!

[coyote]

Yes, but I'm close to trading it all in for 2 nights of rest

See you next weekend?

PS - let me know if you need tri-plane

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

I've finishing loading the SUV with an assortment of planes (electric/indoor/outdoor/glow/drone) etc. to showcase the range of planes we can fly.

I won't need the triplane.

Thanks

If anyone can assist Kevin this Sat - I'm sure it would be appreciated.

I'm working in the afternoon tomorrow so could give you a hand after 9am

9-12 or so. I may get called away for occasional call but would be on site

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

That would be great to let me have just a bathroom break once in the morning....you know you can't buy coffee ...only rent it.

remember 0900-1100 is setup only, the display is from 1100-1400

[coyote]

I'll help cover 10 to 2

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

We received this thank you card from MFRC for supporting their event.

I have scanned the outer and inner covers only so as to save space.

[coyote]

I note that there is no mention of nuts

Did you lose your nuts?

[krmckay "Bombs away"]

Yup ...wife took them....!
