Site Status.
Macca: Open.
20 Mar 25
The good news is that with the recent fine weather the field HAS STARTED to dry out. Let us hope it continues.
For the time being we can use the normal parking area but only as far as the box. The weather forecast suggest rain so possibly we will be back to using only the track.
We are waiting for information from our grass cutting contractor regarding the severe moss problem.
Wilden: Open.
23 Feb 25
The access ground is soft 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 another 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.
