WILDEN AND MACCA -- Flying Prohibited Until Further Notice.
Just to confirm our texts and email 24 Mar 20:
The use of our sites at Wilden and at Macca is prohibited w.e.f. 24 Mar 20 until further notice due the Government imposed restrictions for Covid 19 Virus
Indoor Flying and Club Nights
The remaining dates for indoor programme for Winter 2019/20 had been curtailed before the Government restrictions came into force. This was due to each of the hall committees deciding to impose their own restrictions.
OPERATOR ID
All members should have received an OPERATOR ID from the CAA
By now all club members should have received their Operator ID. If you have not received it yet please let the club treasure know.
If you have it, you should put it on each of your models. (Although rendered irrelevant for the time being due to Covid 19 Virus restrictions.)
There has been a problem getting the Operator ID sent to each member. For an explanation, please see what the BMFA published 23 Feb.
https://bmfa.org/News/News-Page/ArticleID/2642/Update-CAA-Operator-I-D-numbers
If you do not have it yet, please be aware, that there is an exemption to requiring display of the ID on each model until 23 Jun 20. (should we be allowed to resume our hobby before then.)

The person who leaves last is ensure the gate is securely locked with the chain and padlock.

Please drive to the end of the track before heading for the parking area.
To avoid churning up the field when the field is waterlogged please consider parking along the track.
