LRRC based on the outer skirt of Summerville SC (CharlestonSC) is going to host their first annual Heli Funfly April 5th and 6th 2014!! We havent been open a year yet and we're excited to provide a low key, all about fun event!! Our field is within 5min of too many amentities to list, restaurants, hotels, and 20min from the famed historical Charleston!!
The event will be held on the 5th and 6th of April but if you would like to camp or bring your camper (currently no water and power hookups) please let us know well in advance so we make accommodations to open the field to you..something we're talking about is if folks want to show up a day or 2 in advance to tour Charleston before the event please contact us. I will provide a lot more info in the coming days in regard to hotels and restaurants in the local area of the field.
There will be a raffle but I dont want to disclose dollar amount until we nail down some contacts that may be able to donate prizes. Being our first Funfly and a club on a small budget, prizes may be limited but again we just started contacting ppl so who knows how large it will get!
Lunch on Saturday will be included in the pilot landing fee
Again we're hoping to keep this event as low stress as possible and just provide a place to fly, socialize, relax like your flying in someones backyard and just have fun!! Rules will be minimal but will not stray from AMA rules of safety and conduct! Current and valid AMA will be required to fly!
Heres the directions from our website..the website is a work in progress but the directions obviously wont change!
http://ladsonrenegaderotorclub.com/Directions.htmli'll have alot more info to come in the next few weeks in ref to landing fee, hotels and restaurants etc.
Hope to see you guys there!! Please PM me if you would like to attend and also to get a head count of how many we can expect!
Thanks!!
