We’ll back in time to mix sundowner Caipirinhas andContinue reading “Ross pub for dinner Friday”

Less than a month to go and we’re getting excited. The cachace has arrived and is waiting patiently. Steve is brewing up a beauty, and Bill has a keg of brew ready. And our lovely hosts, Chris and Claire Headlam are looking forward to partying with us. They reckon Richard and family will join usContinue reading “It’s getting closer!”

For those of you that are super-keen, there’s a registration form, live now. You can access it here. Also, our profi brewmeister-member Bill McHenry will be bringing along a keg of his Session Ale. It’s verrrrry nice. Thanks Bill. We would encourage you to bring along your favoured pewter tankard (or variation on the theme)Continue reading “The early bird catches… avian flu?”

Hi folks. Time for an update on the Festival of Flying Fabric, from your organisers, Iain and Steve (aka Clarke Kent Events). We have decided to ditch the backup weekend to align with where we are viewing the festival. Regardless of the weather, unless there’s a raging flood or a bushfire, we’re going to getContinue reading “FoFF 2024 – Ethos and information”

Who was it said never say never again? Not us. Back from our hiatus, we’re pushing out a new edition of what was XCamp, a true Festival of Flying Fabric. And we’re returning to the birthing pond that is Gaffs Hill. Our lovely property owners have kindly agreed to host the FFF, based around theContinue reading “The Festival of Flying Fabric 2024 is ON!”

Unfortunately, we have just received word that the leaseholder had their lease wound up by text message on Friday, effective March 1st. We will take a pause, have a look around and organise something at an alternate venue in a few months’ time. Thanks for your interest and stay tuned…

We have confirmed with the owners that we have 13 definite bookings and 11 maybes, as of 9am today (6/2). We can also confirm that the owner will not allow tents or caravans – you’re using her facilities and it’s their rule. So, fair enough. And, we are opening up Friday night (17/3) for earlyContinue reading “Bookings are open for Friday night.”

While we were up in Corryong for the Go For Goal, we found that some Mainlanders were disappointed to hear that Fly-In Tasmania (formerly XCamp) would not run this year. Steve Kent got to thinking that we could organise a get-together at one of the Midlands towns or somewhere similar and avail ourselves of countryContinue reading “Festival of Fabric Flying 2023 is on!”

Hi all. Unfortunately, the weather for this weekend is looking completely unsuitable. Also, Gil cannot make it to the backup weekend (March 4-6). We have two things that we need to run the show – good weather to fly safely in, and a minimum standard of hygiene with a working shower and toilet. Without oneContinue reading “Fly-In Tasmania 2022 – Cancelled!”

We are looking closely at the forecasts. Currently, both Windy and SkySight show westerlies west of the Tiers and NW-N east of the Tiers. This gives us only Woodspring and Gaffs to play with, with the strong possibility of Gaffs being blown out. We will make a decision tomorrow about whether we go ahead orContinue reading “Weather update – 16/02/2022”
