Due to the weather delaying our bring a yellow plane event we have decided to combine our Christmas get together with the yellow plane event. 

The event will be held on Sunday 7th December 2025 so if you have a yellow plane please bring it along, If you dont have a yellow plane then bring what ever plane you want to fly. The idea is to get us all together and have some fun. 

BBQ morning tea/breakfast will be provided at around 10-10:30am.

 

Rubbish bins

All rubbish bins are being removed from the flying field. Members and visitors will be required to take and dispose of their own rubbish. This is to ensure both the flying fields and surrounds are kept in a clean and tidy state.

Field Maintenance

General field maintenance

It is the responsibility of all club members to ensure the field and its facilities are kept clean and tidy.

The rubbish bins at the field are going away to keep the field tidy. This means that all members and visitors that come to the field will be responsible to take their rubbish home. 

The practice of members dropping unwanted plane parts in the club house with the good intentions that others might find those parts useful usually results in the items being thrown out. For this reason, we ask all members to cease this practice. Items left in the club house for others to pick over will be considered as rubbish and will be thrown out. We expect all members to cooperate with this new understanding. 

Field Under Maintenance

There are certain activities undertaken at our airfield which require the field to close to keep our members and contractors safe. We will put out notices to all members via emails, our Facebook page and on our 1st page of this website letting everyone know the closure days and times.
