Greetings to all Home Built campers for air Venture 2016.
We are planning some nice improvements to this year's event.
1. Hope to have additional capacity in the toilet trailer.
2. A larger tent for our gatherings with more picnic tables + BBQ grilles
3. Working on some other surprises.
4. Tram Stop with benches just adjacent to HBC fence. (schedule posted on Bldg.)
5. Revised policy on bicycles: We at Air Venture want to accommodate our camper guests as much as possible while observing the safety & rules set forth by the EAA.
The following suggestions are being made with these goals in mind.
A. The use of bicycles is not permitted on Air Venture grounds outside of approved areas during the days of Air Venture. The approved areas do not include aircraft parking areas such as Home Built Camping. Safety issues are our biggest concern. Campers may keep bicycles outside of the perimeter fence in areas designated to park them. They are the responsibility of the owner/camper to keep properly secured. You may certainly keep your personal fold-up bikes in your tent/aircraft, you just can?t ride them until they are outside the fence during the show days.
B. Storage of bicycles has become a concern after Air Venture since we do have limited space for storage of essentials used to mark parking for planes, etc. After Air Venture or when a camper wishes to leave a bicycle, they will have to arrange to have it stored offsite or donated to a charitable organization such as The Salvation Army.
C. We are offering free shuttle & Welcome Wagon pick-up @ Home built Camping building and outside fence @ pick up stop for shuttle. Please check the schedule for shuttle runs posted on building as well as phone number to call for Welcome Wagon. This will alleviate the need for personal transportation during your stay as well as lighten your cargo for your plane, which is a good thing right?
D. The volunteer staff will do all we can to make sure your experience here is a great one, so we are hoping this clarification will ease your concerns. Now go have a blast. That is all carry on?
