10th August 2009
Please
note that the LMA show at Much Marcle has been cancelled for 2009. This
is because a recent steam rally caused considerable damage to the
ground and it is unlikely to recover in time for the model show.
Closer
to home, please note that there will be another shooting session in our
field on 5th September 2009. Obviously the field will be closed to the
model club that day.

May 2009
Good
News!
The
farmer has given us a date to resume flying.
We
can start flying again on Saturday 23rd May 2009.
Please
note that we are not allowed to drive down to the strip for
off-loading. We are only allowed to park in the field.
Two
members have negotiated with the farmer to drive down to the strip due
to disability. If you see them doing so, please do not follow their
example. The rest of the membership MUST NOT drive down the field.
Happy
flying!

by the farmer.
All
model flying is to cease at the Woolaston site from Tuesday
14th April 2009 i.e we can fly upto and including bank holiday Monday
13th April 2009 but not after that date until further notice.
