Good News!

The farmer has given us a date to resume flying.

We can start flying again at 10.00am on Saturday 29th May 2010.

Please remember 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!
