Club diary 2009

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 "A" 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 not open for the general public. 

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 named person below for the respective events to confirm it still going ahead, and for any additional information about the day.
