As a result of Government requirements, from Thurs 5 Nov lasting for the period of lockdown, however long that may be, both Ivel MAC flying sites are closed.
Ivel MAC Christmas Dinner
Regret that due to the problems associated with Covid-19, the committee decided it would be unwise to try to organise a Christmas Dinner this year. This was actually decided before Lockdown-2 came into force. That shows how things can change, and quickly. It reinforces the reasoning for the decision.

GATE Reminder (when we get back to being able to use the sites).
If you arrive at either field 1st and unlock the gate, please leave the gate open but the padlock LOCKED and attached to the chain with the combination numbers rotated so that passers-by cannot discover the combination.
At Wilden there are 2 padlocks now, one for use by Wilden Cricket Club members (Brass Lock) and another for Ivel MAC members.
The person who leaves last is ensure the gate is securely locked with the chain and padlock.
Wilden
If conditions are muddy, please park between the Gate and around the Nets (according to wind direction) to avoid making muddy tracks near the pavilion.
