9th March 2008 - MKF Stan Lunn Memorial fly-in, Sutton Park - Boldmere Gate.

Taken from e-mail from Ian:

As you may have heard one of the main attendees of the Boldmere Gate fly-in Stan Lunn died recently.

The Funeral was held last Wednesday and was attended by Ian and Julie Wilson, Jim Cronin, David & Anne Buckland and Mike S-P as friends and representatives of MKF along with his close friends and family.

Ian has spoken to Stan’s family and with their agreement it has been decided to dedicate the March 9th Fly-in to Stan, and in memory of him it will be called the MKF Stan Lunn Memorial fly-in, Sutton Park - Boldmere Gate.

We will be holding a minutes silence at 12pm after which we will release three black helium balloons with a simple card attached.

If you would like to attend and say your goodbyes to one of our best and cherished friends and would like to add your name to the card then please come along.

The Fly-in’ starts at the usual time of 9.30am and finishes at 2pm at the usual place Sutton Park, Boldmere Gate, Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham, West Midlands.

Thanks to Ian for arranging this.
