We operate one flying field at present, hold weekly meetings, organise indoor flying events, take off on slope soaring and other expeditions,
and organise presentations by noted speakers.
We have around sixty members right now, and there are a few vacancies.
Prospective novice members may, by arrangement, enjoy up to three familiarisation flights with one of our Instructors using dual control,
prior to membership being confirmed.
Ownership of a flying model is not essential at first: the Club owns and operates several training
aircraft that can be used until you have built or purchased your own model.
Membership is open to anyone (young or not so young) who
are fascinated by model aircraft, of whatever type. However, we are a Private Members Club, and applications for membership are reviewed
by our committee. Prospective members must be proposed and seconded by existing members of more than one year's standing.
If you are
interested in joining the Club then please
click here, to contact our Membership Secretary, who will be happy to help with your enquiry.
Please make sure that you include your full postal address in the email. Then, you will receive an introductory pack of information,
including an application form, a list of current membership fees, and an invitation to come along to one of our Friday evening meetings.
This
will enable you to decide whether or not you wish to join us, and also let us meet you. Whilst membership is open to all, it is by
invitation only. The Club is not open to the general public.
