Social Calendar

Our approach to event planning is ever evolving. However, a few recurring meetings have settled down, and we will continue to schedule them. A number of other events might be added throughout the year. Joined events with Auster and VPAC clubs are being planned too. However, scheduling new events in an already busy aviation schedule might prove a challenge, and this is why we are opening most of our events to both Auster and VPAC clubs.

Another addition to our schedule will emanate from the renewed co-operation with Kemble-based Skyhawk “gang”. Concentrating mainly on Bulldog, Chipmunk (and lately Pup) formation flying and training, Skyhawks anticipate getting involved in organising other events, not necessarily connected to our aircraft. As long as the event theme is deemed of interest to the members, it’s game. Whilst operating independently from the Club, a close collaboration of Skyhawks and the Club is being envisaged.

Afternoon Tea with the Originals, Thursday the 19th June 2025

Shoreham Airport (EGKA)

This is our yearly opportunity to visit and meet our Originals, at the place where their memories and our aircraft were created! When asked, overwhelmingly, the Originals preferred an afternoon event, mid-week. With the Hummingbird restaurant thriving, our now well established meeting place has been booked again! Details of the day will be published closer to the day, but we can announce now that the cost will be partially met by the Club.

Beagle Annual Bash, Saturday, 9th of August 2025

Buttermilk Hall Farm,

A couple of years ago, on the Club’s 40th anniversary, we returned to our ‘base’ – Buttermilk Hall Farm – where we were so generously hosted by Kevin and Vicky Amies. We will be returning there again in 2024, by air or by car thus reviving the yearly Club meeting. Club will partially sponsor the event, but there will probably be a small charge, to meet the cost of the food and infrastructure.
