Site Status.
Macca: Open.
The good news is that with the recent fine weather the field has dried out enough so that we can use the normal parking area again.
Wilden: Open.
Remember that if you choose to fly at Wilden, there is heavy duty chain with 2 padlocks.
One for use by Ivel MAC members, and The other one (brass) for use by Wilden Cricket Club members. Often only one padlock is in view, with one behind the post, if so pull the chain around the post.
If the Wilden padlock seems reluctant to release, try pressing the clasp in, before pulling it out.
This is our lock. Line up the numbers on the centre row.
