2 NOV 06: NO PFA RALLY IN 2007

THE PFA has announced that its annual Rally - more recently known as Flying for Fun - will not take place in 2007.

The Rally, once a major event in the GA calendar, has been in serious decline over the past few years. This is partly due to the arrival of new exhibitions such as Aero Expo and FLY!, bad luck with the weather, rising ticket prices and a lack of clarity from the PFA on what the Rally is actually about.

Instead of the Rally, the PFA is currently looking at running 'Regional Rallies' next year which are likely to 'piggy-back' onto existing events, with the intention of possibly re-launching a major event in 2008.
Much is still in the early stages, but the Regionals are starting to take shape, with the following events provisionally having some PFA involvement:
Royal International Air Tattoo 14-15 July
AeroExpo 8-10 June
Dunkeswell Devon Strut event 29 June-1 July
Air Britain North Weald 16-17 June.
A number of events still have to be clarified including the new FLY! event, and others at the Shuttleworth Collection, Hucknell and Popham.
