Club diary 2007

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 for the general public, but if you are flying on the day, feel free to bring along your family and friends.

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.

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,
