Club diary 2011           

The following event dates are now confirmed. Effort is made by the events committee to hold our events on alternative dates to other UK modeling shows. To fly at  our "Electric fly-in weekend" or our September "All Models Fly-in", pilots must hold at least a BMFA "A" certificate, or a 'B' if flying a turbine model. 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. These two events are not open to the general public, but showing at least one BMFA membership card will allow you and a car full of mates or family onto the airfield. The other event is a full weekend of Scale and Turbine powered aircraft, and is open to the general public. You must hold a BMFA "B" certificate to fly at this event, due to the presence of 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.  More details will be posted on the clubs main web pages nearer the dates, and also on the BMFA classifieds pages.
