Hi a bit of info for those in our area.
The regular fly-in (that wasn't so regular!) held indoors in the large hall at Newark Showground that had previously been organised on a commercial basis has been resurrected in the form of a new club - as per the title.
In short the LHS that was running it has abandoned us and we have teamed together to create a members owned and run club - "Newark Indoor Flying Club"
We'll be flying mainly helis up to 450 size and small planes - up to 450 wingspan. We have permission to fly the same aircraft outside as well when conditions permit.
We are currently in the process of obtaining BMFA affiliation and will run the club along those lines. This being done to aid with admin and to provide insurance cover for those wishing to come and try it out. So:-
We are scheduled to run EVERY TUESDAY EVENING from 6.30 till late (and this last week I abandoned them at 10.45pm!)
The rules are:
450 helis or smaller, 450 wingspan or smaller
£20 annual membership
£5 per night to fly
Guest flyers welcome. They pay £5 per night and may attend up to 3 times. BMFA ticket needs to be shown.
BMFA membership/insurance required by all members
At this point we are not restricting numbers but may have to do so eventually
...and that's about it.
The new club kicks off proper on TUESDAY 31 MAY and we fly every week thereafter.
Not every week is at the Showground but every week we are somewhere - and we have some nice venues lined up as well.
for more info, post on here or e-mail me: walker17@talktalk.net
Picture of the culprits from the other night attached (PS those with big helis were just showing off, lol)
Edit: Really sorry it has uploaded a pic of me as well which I don't seem to be able to delete, ugh!
