Site Status.
Macca: Open.
6 May 25
The good news is that with the recent fine weather the field has dried out enough for 2 cuts so far.
For the time being, we can continue to use the normal parking area again.
Wilden: Open.
27 Mar 25
The access ground may be soft when wet, but vehicles can get in and out okay without leaving ruts or getting stuck.
Wilden no longer has a cover over wicket but it does have some metal stakes around the perimeter. You just need to remember to avoid them when landing!
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.
