12th April: The call for help was
met by a gallant team who worked hard to get the driveway fixed.
Please drive carefully over the new surface (no wheelies dough-nuts
etc.) The main gate has now been unlocked. (pictures will appear in
the gallery shortly). The pits area is still very soggy but the
strip is usable.
****
10 April: A team has been working hard on the driveway and has
managed to fix about a third of it - Hopefully they will be
able to finish it on the morning of
Friday 12th April but they need help.
Please come if you can, with a shovel if possible - they also need
one more soft-tyred wheelbarrow. (see pictures in the gallery)
*****
There will be a working party on Wednesday morning of 10th April to
make a start on fixing the problem with the track up to the summer
carpark. If you can help, please come armed with a shovel and/or a
wheel barrow

members in attendance. Pictures are in the gallery. and full competition
results are available on the competition page.
****
Please note that your new (very long) CAA opertor number must be
displayed on all models but the CAA has confirmed that this new
number will NOT be changed every year. The CAA regrets that this
number is so long but it is regulated by an EU directive that the UK
(DoT) agreed adopt since the UK formally left the EU.
(if it is any consolation, the guy
from the CAA also thinks the length of the number is daft)
****
- By now all members should have
received their CAA operator ID number. No model should take to the
air without this number on the aircraft is accordance with the CAA's
requirements. These can be found here
