The details for this winters indoor flying have now been finalised. The meets will start properly Thursday 6th Feb. The venue is Montsaye Community Sports Hall, Rothwell. We have the main hall booked 5.30 till 7.30 pm. Membership is £41 for the 10 sessions. On Thursday 29th there is a free hour from 5.30 till 6.30 for people to come and have a look. I look forward to seeing you there.

As discussed at the AGM we have been endeavouring to find a suitable hall for indoor flying. After a demonstration a Montsaye Community Hall we have been offered the opportunity of a block booking for 10 weeks on Thursdays 5.30 till 7.30. As 5.30 is so early they have agreed to only charge from 6.00. This will be £41.25 per week. As was agreed at the AGM this will spread out over the number of members that want to take part. If we get 10 then it will be £ 41.25 membership which is very good value at only £4.00 per night. The more members join the indoor flying the cheaper it will be. This is our first attempt and if successful we will try for a more suitable time for next winter. Any body that is interested can contact me on email at polyman2@aol.com.
We would hope to start on 29 th January if we can’t get it all in place for the 22nd. This offer is open to non-members as long as you have BMFA insurance by showing a current membership card.

Happy new Year.

Two reminders for the start of 2009.

1. If you have not yet renewed your club membership you are not insured and so cannot fly.

2. Club rule 52 comes into full effect. All members that do not currently have a BMFA 'A' Certificate or higher cannot fly un-supervised. You will still be able to fly providing you have either a 'B' certificate holder watching you or a club instructor.
