Thank you once again to our event sponsors: @pyreegue #VelocityFlightTraining @BritishAvgeek @FS2Crew Our mystery prize was an A320 donated by Aamir at @FenixSimulation Your generosity is very much appreciated and certainly attracts pilots to make the event a success.

The Madness just got madder! We're giving away our copy of @pyreegue 's new EGBB scenery TODAY!!! See discord.com/channels/70548… for more details on how to be in with a chance of winning.

Plenty of other stands to choose from though!

If you don't/wont have the new scenery this weekend, it's probably best you don't connect on stands 1 - 16. Cheers!

EGBB has been long overdue a revamp. Thanks to Ben @ @vatsimuk , we're ready for the carnage when the @pyreegue scenery drops!

One week to go! EGBB will be extremely busy next weekend. If you're flying out, please check vatsim-radar.com for vacant stands before you connect.

Some absolutely fantastic news coming from @pyreegue HQ this morning. ❤️

Two weeks and counting! Final preparations are underway and TeamMSM look forward to seeing you at EGBB Birmingham during MSM XIX! Remember to be registered on the @vatsimuk forum or discord so we can contact you if you're one of our lucky prizewinners. @vatsimevents #MSM19

This year, we'll host our 19th annual Mid Summer Madness! event on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of August. With full ATC, EGBB is guaranteed to be busy that weekend. As usual, we're back with some amazing prizes for participating pilots. Details to follow soon. #MSMXIX #MSM19

Morning! The weekend has finally arrived. MSMXVIII! gets going from 0900Z today. Fly to/from EGBB for madness, full ATC and the chance to win a prize!

If RW33's in use, it's important you know the holding points C1, E1 and S1. It's also important you have up to date scenery as taxiway S doesn't feature in some default sceneries. We'll send aircraft to hold at S1, but some will hold at E1 blocking the taxiway and causing delays.

Still see lots of pilots stopping short of the dashed hold lines when vacating. Don't.
