Well, what a year we have had - we started by trying to get a club together and affiliate with the BMFA - we needed 5 members to do that and only just made it.
Since then, we've grown through friends and contacts to become a club with 16 members, a 10 acre flat field and a lot of equipment like bunjee, winch, battery, charger, etc....
Paul and I would not have guessed last year that we would be entering 2016 in such a great shape.....
and for next year we are looking to extend our membership and make better use of our field.
One of our associate members - Kevin Beale is the SE Area Chief Examiner for Silent Flight and another full member - Bernie Jones, is a BMFA examiner, so between them I'm hoping they can lead us to get our 'A' or 'B' tests which a number of our members have expressed an interest in.
Until then, Paul and I would like to wish you all the very best of the season, a happy new year and many thanks indeed for your loyal and enthusiastic support this year.

Hi Rob, thanks for your hard work! Happy Christmas. .I agree the club/ field needs to be used properly. Maybe in the near future a meeting can be arranged for the members so they can be all involved in their/ the club.
