Harry Hawker
Feel free to bring partners and/or friends who can stomach an evening of 'pilot chat', following the GAPAN Tymms Lecture at the Royal Aeronautical Society.
As always this is a great opportunity to informally meet up with your GYM Committee and find out about how to get more from your membership. Of course it's also a good time for networking or simply an excuse to share a couple of pints with like-minded people!
Location:
The Kings Arms,

Time:
Wed Sept 29th, 19:30 onwards
Contact:
events@gapanym.org
No need to RSVP but to be kept up to date with any last minute changes (to this event only), email events@gapan.org with your mobile number.
You are especially welcome if you haven't been to one of these informal evenings before - a picture of Harry Hawker will be on our table to help you identify us.
The GYM Committee hope to see you there.
