Bi -Monthly Club Meetings Reinstated

Please find below a quick note regarding reinstating the bi-monthly club meetings.
 
The next Club Meeting will be held on
Monday October 4th at Symondsbury Cricket Club. 
(Look up “Symene Sports Club” on Google maps for location.)
There may be a BBQ if the weather looks good.
Please arrive by 7:30PM so the meeting can be underway by 7:45.
Bring your own drink although hopefully there will be tea and coffee available!
Also please bring £2 as a contribution for food and hall fees.
There will be a raffle (£5 per strip of five tickets) however, depending on the number of tickets sold, it might not be not drawn on the night, in which case it will “rollover” until the following meeting which will also incorporate the AGM (in December).
Talking about the AGM, if you would like to join the committee please put your name forward  to the secretary ASAP.

New Model Flying Regulations !

All members should be aware by now that the UK have adopted a new set of regulations for model flying that came into effect on 31st Dec 2020.

The situation can seem a little complicated and so it is considered essential that all members read (as a minimum) the BMFA document “CAA Article 16 Authorisation – A guide to the new regulations for model flying”  to understand the background and the key conditions & restrictions associated with the new regulations.

It should be noted that within these regulations there is now a requirement from the CAA, for (certain) members to confirm they have read and understood Article 16 authorisation.

Please read the above guide, available on the BMFA web site (https://rcc.bmfa.uk/article-16) and, if applicable, tick the relevant” Opt-in” box in your profile on the BMFA Go-Membership portal (https://bmfa.azolve.com/ ).
