Yes its back for 2014, the Parafest is to be held later this year with hopefully better weather than the
previous two years.

So the dates for your diary;…. the weekend of Fri 5 - Sun 7th September, and of course
at the Chippingham show ground. So dry out your tent and airbeds and prepare your family or friends. See
last years Parafest 2013 Report as to what fun you can have, don’t miss it!!

There will be a desire this year to keep costs down and you can help by…

• Do you know of a marquee that could be loaned or hired cheaply for the weekend. It needs t o be of a
size greater than m x 8m and could be utilised in the Parafest in case of bad weather.

• Likewise do you have another skill or expertise you could showcase at the Parafest to the non flyers.

• any other ideas welcomed to improve the Parafest Experience.!

Any offer of help to any member of the committee or to Billy Maxwell!
Finally as always the Parafest will welcome all current BHPA members, or those with requisite qualifications
and comparable current third party insurance, as well as partners, families, and interested friends to come
and join in the fun. !
