Club diary 2008
The following event dates are now confirmed. Effort is made by the committee to hold our events on alternative dates to other UK modeling shows. To fly at one of our "fly-ins", pilots must hold a BMFA "B" certificate for any model being flown. There will be an assistant for each pilot on the flight line. This person can be provided by the club, or be one of your flying colleagues if you prefer. Proof of insurance and certificate of competence will need to be shown before flying. Our events this year are open for the general public again. Please feel free to bring along your family and friends to enjoy one or more of our friendly events.
The flying will commence at 10:00 on each date, and end at around 16:00.
Before you travel to
any theses events, email the Webmaster to confirm it still going ahead, and for
any additional information about the
day. This e-mail account will be
accessed EVERY day.

Local Swapmeet dates - 2008

It seems that recent months have seen a decline in the popularity of swapmeets - I will add them when I see them or you inform me of them |
|
| December 2008 | Loughborough L.M.F.C - 11th annual Swapmeet |
| Just a few hours, and an amount of cash bought us 16 aircraft, two helicopters, radios, engines and batteries. This was my swag from the Watford Swapmeet of 2006. All of this and a passenger with a stiff neck came home in one car, | ![]() |
