Ponte Retro Fly In 8.5.

I've already had a few requests for another retro do this year. Last year we organised an event at BMFA Buckminster but it wasn't well supported but I appreciate it's a bit of a trek for some of us.
Fantastic venue , real shame. I'm testing the water for who would come if Buckminster is free, (It may not be possible to have another one at Ponte this year as we have to apply for a licence for events early in the year). We really need at least 20 - 30 minimum fellow retrofiles . Who's game ... I'm happy to try to sort something if we get the numbers..
Cheers,
Shaun

I'm certainly up for it, but it will depend on the date - family commitments, etc....

As one who did go to Buckminster last year, I enjoyed it so much that I'm going again (to the SAM35 RetroFest) at the end of June anyway. These things always take some time to gain momentum, so don't be disheartened - I'm sure that those who went last year will want to go again.
Count me in (unless it's between 29th August and 8th September when I'll be in Australia).

Is anybody going to go to the Retro Nats on Fri 28th? Unfortunately, I'm playing steam traction engines on the 29/30th, unless I can slip off after towing the trailer there and then reappearing on Sat evening.
Cheers

Sadly, I'm not going to be able to make this one. My wife has arranged for us to spend a week in North Wales with our daughter and her husband, and that's the week-end we're going up there.
A trip to Portmeirion is on the agenda - something that's been on my bucket list for ages - but that doesn't really compensate for missing out on 8.5.
It was an excellent event last year, and I will be thinking of you all over the week-end. Hope the weather holds for you.

Hi all,
Being chatting today with Manny (BMFA) and Ian Lever (Sam 35 - who's organising it) regarding the Buckminster retro fest. They are more than happy for any Ponte Retro fans to come and join in the fun. Plenty of flying slots available. Onsite camping, burger van, bring and buy (or take and sell
). Lets get as many of us as possible to turn up and make this a success.
Full details here:-
