THE ACTIVE
BLACK COUNTRY 41
(EX-ROUND TABLE) CLUBTiger Helicopters - Appreciation Evening - Page 50(The clubs fiftieth meeting since chartered)
Organised by John Ferris 
A most interesting visit was enjoyed by a dozen members of our Active Black Country Past Round Table (41) Club.
Monday 15th April 2013 at 8pm.
A visit to Tiger Helicopters at Shobon Aerodrome in Herefordshire HR6 9NR
Although some distance from the core ABC territory the visit
was well worth it as it was a rare chance of a lifetime to touch and get close
to these aircraft, and receive a fascinating talk from Director Alan Ramsden.
Tiger Helicopters has one of the most advanced helicopter pilot training facilities
in the UK and as such, trains pilots for International police forces and the
military as well as our own alongside anyone who wants to obtain their private
pilots license.
An excellent cold buffet was included during the visit.
Cost was £10.00 which included food and a allowed us
to make a £100 donation to (most appropriately) the Air Ambulance charity
nominated by the managing director of Tiger
We finished up at a local pub The Bateman Arms which is situated on the perimeter
of the Aerodrome.
Potential members and guests were most welcome. It was great to have a large
group from Bridgenorth Ex-Tablers club join us too.
Thank you John for another different and fascinating evening organised by your good self. Lovely buffet agan. Raising money for Air Ambulance too what a great idea, well done.
YIABC Chairman Jon.
