    Please note, Ken has moved the pits up the field.
    We are now using the area by the trough,
    Please use the drip trays when flying IC powered models.

    There is a notice board in place for club notices.
    Please make sure you have read them, and check from time to time for new information.
    We will only be posting important notices on the board.
    Thanks
    Graeme
    Chairman

    Dear members,
    Now that the dryer weather has arrived I would like to ask you to slightly change the way we use the pits.
    Please use the area which was stripped of grass as the pits for IC engines.
    This is because the grass is being damaged by fuel spillages.
    Still use the same part of the field, just go back to using the edge next to the ditch and make sure the trays are being used.
    Thanks.

    My name is Julian and I run a new Hobby Shop called ‘Donny Hobbies’ with my wife Karen. I’m a keen aero-modeller with experience in fixed wing and electric helicopters. We are presently internet based, but with plans to open a shop in the near future. Our range includes aeroplanes & edf jets, cars & buggies, tanks and boats as well as accessories and spares.
    We are trying to establish our business by promoting it to as many like-minded people as possible throughout the UK. We would like to offer a 10% discount to the first few purchases from your club. Just use the code; BDMAC at the checkout on our website:

    Hi,
    Does anyone own or have access to a GWS programming card for their brushless speed controllers.
    Peter Robertson wants to set the brake on his and it can't be done without one.
    I know they only cost £8 ish but he only needs it for this.
    If you can help, please call me on 07973 549742 or e-mail chairman@Badmac.co.uk
    Thanks
    Graeme

    Nearly new Hirobo Quark SRB for sale (no-Tx).

    Very little used and in 'as new' condition. Comes in the original box with spare main and tail rotor blades. Also included is an upgraded twin bearing tail driveshaft. This version is as shipped from Hirobo with the radio/motor/Esc/battery/battery charger all included and fitted.

    This model has not been crashed although I have broken a couple sets of polystyrene blades from tip overs.

    I am selling this for £150 and it can be picked up or posted at cost.

    Membership update
    --------------------------------------

    We have received renewals from all senior members, so thank you for that. If I got your renewal in November you will have your membership card / BMFA card shortly. If it was in December you will have to wait a couple more weeks (all now sent to BMFA - just waiting return). Membership cards will be sent at same time as BMFA even if you don't get BMFA through us.

    Now working through the waiting list...
