BMFA Renewal Update

Hi All,
Thanks to your prompt responses to our emails, I have now sent off to the BMFA all our renewal paperwork for next year.
Hopefully, those of you who are country members will renew your own membership before the end of December so as to remain insured for next year. Some of our members are insured through other clubs and will therefore be covered through those.

I hope that the paperwork will come back to me fairly quickly so that I can send you all your BMFA cover-notes by the end of the year.

On another topic, I had a couple of successful meetings with our field landlord over the last two weekends and can announce that we have retained the use of the field for another year. This is dependant upon planning permission for the adjoining fields but even if it gets the go-ahead, we should still be okay to fly for most of this year. I will monitor the situation with the landlord throughout the year. I have agreed to pay him monthly so that we can stop paying if we are restricted in any way by development, etc... Hopefully we can make more use of the field this year if the weather allows us ?


I would also like to welcome Ian Dunlop as our newest recruit to the club. Ian has been flying with us for a number of years as a country member of BMFA and has decided to join us this year. We are pleased to welcome Ian into the club.



Finally , we will soon be announcing the date for an AGM to be held in January, please try to come along if possible - last year we had 99% attendance which is excellent.

See you all soon,

Rob Stanley
Hon. Sec.

    1. Hi Bob, no problems.
      I was thinking of using the ASW28 you sold me to fly at the field this year. It seems ideal for the job.
