Membership |
|
Welcome to Robert Hughes-Burton who has rejoined us and managed to get in some flying this year before the weather became inclement. We reached a total of 38 members for the year which is lower than for the past few years. |

|
|
If you want to fly in January please let Malcolm have your renewal subscription in December so that we can get your BMFA insurance processed. |
|
|
|
The total subscription (Club fee and BMFA fee) is £60.00 for seniors |
|
and £29.00 for juniors. |
|
The Club fee for Country Members is £32.00 with details of BMFA membership. |
|
At the time of printing we have about a dozen paid members for 2010. |

Bring and Fly 2010 |
|
The Bring and Fly for 2009 was another success, the weather was brilliant and the income will keep the Club solvent for another year. The absence of the very large models left more air time for the visiting flyers and the jets provided a interest for the spectators. For the first time there were more electric and jets than IC engines. |
|
The slope flying went well with lots of scale and fewer foamies. |
|
Thanks to Pete and Brenda for hosting (and paying for) the Saturday evening bar-b-q. |
