NANAIMO FLYING CLUB FLY-IN 2001
Please consider this an open invitation to join us at our annual Fly-in on the first weekend of June, 2001. That is June 2 and 3
It seems that every year our fly in gets bigger and better, and this year will be no exception. We will be starting off on Saturday with a poker run, stay tuned for the prize list as we accumulate it, followed by our world class Pigroast BBQ on Saturday evening.
Pigroast will be $15.00 per person and only 150 tickets will be sold. To purchase your ticket, contact Chris McLean at
250 746-1673 or e-mail.
Refreshments at 17:00 Pigroast at 18:30.
Entertainment provided once again by "Those two Guys" to follow Pigroast. Plan to stay for the show, it is worth it. (no extra charge)
Airports for Poker Run- Powell River, Boundary Bay, Courtenay, Victoria, Sechelt, Qualicum. Entrants can start at any one of these airports, but must finish at Nanaimo. $5.00 per hand.
Camping on field is encouraged, floor space in the club is available on a first come, first served basis, and some of our members would be willing to loan out a cot or a couch if you let us know soon enough. There are several motels within 5 miles if that is more to your liking. If you require more information about motels or local attractions e-mail me at johnmargaret@home.com There is an 18 hole golf course next to the airport, car rentals on site and bungie jumping close by.
On Sunday we will be opening the club grounds to the public so that we can show off our aircraft, and our flying skills. Pancake breakfast starts at 08:30 - cost $4.00 (Warbird pilots and passengers are free).
For the first time we will have a panel of judges looking at fly-in aircraft and awarding prizes for as yet to be determined criteria. Stay tuned for updates as I get them on here.

Second Prize - Aviation Head set
Third Prize - $100 in 100ll fuel
