Brian Ball now Acting Chairman

After the departure of David LLoyd (emigrated to New Zealand, not that we're jealous), Brian Ball has kindly taken the baton of Chairmanship, and will fill the role of Acting Chairman, until the AGM in December.

Gala Day re-scheduled for Sunday 10th August

07/07/2008

This year, Gala Day was originally scheduled for Sunday 22nd June, but due to poor weather was postponed. It's now been re-scheduled for Sunday 10th August, so fingers crossed for good weather, and we hope to see you there!

Gala day last year was a great day, with a good turnout, but this year’s event is going to be bigger and better!

For those that have never been, Gala day is the club's annual "fun day", where friends and family are invited, and there will be competitions (with prizes!), all sorts of flying, and a (free) barbecue to keep you fed.

Bring along your models and have a flight – we want to see scale, pattern, sports, gliders and everything in between! – but don’t worry if you don’t want to fly, come along and watch. Bring your friends and family – the more the merrier!

Gala Day Postponed

20/06/2008

Unfortunately, it's been decided to postpone Gala Day this year: the latest weather forecasts predict 25+ mph winds, which would make flying rather difficult for most!.

The committee will discusss setting a new date at the next committee meeting, so watch this space for a reschedule.
