BCPA Indoors

18 February 2012 - 19 February 2012

What

The BCPA's annual wind tunnel event, moving back to Airkix Manchester for some awesome competitions, free coaching, and more tunnel time booked than any previous event!

Who

For everyone - from absolute beginners to experienced!

[NB] Non-BCPA members may only attend if they are flying with at least one or more BCPA members and not just taking advantage of the cheap tunnel time for personal use.

Why

Free FS and FF coaching (priority is given to those that book first), lots of awesome competitions including Tunnel Twister, 4-way FS and 2-way FF (competitions can only be entered by eligible BCPA members), and discounted tunnel time!

How

Registration goes live at 7pm on Monday 5th December on this page - be aware time typically sells out very fast!

Please ignore the signup feature at the top of this page, it will not be used for registering for this event!

I would recommend registering here in advance to save time before registration opens

More Info

This year we are returning to Airkix Manchester with 16 hours of tunnel time booked over the weekend - please be aware that we cannot guarantee specific slots, you can make requests if you have long distances to travel but I can make no guarantees.

See the competitions link on the right for a list of the competitions that are running, and prices for products at the bottom of the page

The Plan

Saturday

Flying starts at 9am so anyone flying in the morning should get there nice and early (recommended at least an hour before flying). First sessions goes on until 1pm. Second session is from 5pm until 11pm. The competitions will be held in the evening on the Saturday.

After flying has finished we'll head to the bars in the Chill Factor for a few drinks. Any proper party goers can travel the short distance into Manchester City Centre for a good night out!

Sunday

Flying starts again at 9am, and the first session ends at 1pm. The competition results will then be announced and the final session runs from 3pm to 5pm. Everyone then departs!

Accommodation

You will find accommodation in Manchester surprisingly easy to find and quite affordable! It is up to you to book a room but below are a number of suggestions near the Tunnel:

Premier Inn West (very close to Tunnel) - £29 per Double Room
Premier Inn South (very close to Tunnel) - £29 per Double Room
Holiday Inn (< 5 miles away) - £62 per Double Room

Plus lots more, just do your own searches! Remember you can cram lots of people into some of these rooms, and make them very cheap!
