REMINDER; the IC Fun-Fly was scheduled for Sunday 19th Sept. However the weather was unsuitable and so this comp has been re-scheduled for 26th Sept (Let's hope we have better luck with the weather.)

N.B. All regular flying will be suspended during the comp which will commence at 11 am. In te event of unsuitable weather a notice will appear on this page by 9 am on the day.

***

The committe has decided that from August the field will be open as normal and the track and trace (signing in and out) is no longer required. Other Covid 19 precautions are at the discression of the individual member

****

Please note that your new (very long) CAA opertor number must be displayed on all models but the CAA has confirmed that this new number will NOT be changed every year. The CAA regrets that this number is so long but it is regulated by an EU directive that the UK (DoT) agreed adopt since the UK formally left the EU. (if it is any consolation, the guy from the CAA also thinks the length of the number is daft)

****

-* By now all members should have received their CAA operator ID number. No model should take to the air without this number on the aircraft is accordance with the CAA's requirements. These can be found here

* The code to the flying field gate was changed on 1st January every year. The new code is on the membership card. The code to the electric forest gate (when it's working) or a combination lock when fitted, remains unchanged. Any questions contact a member of the committee or click here to e-mail.
