And we think we' got problems, look here, and click the down arrow to move through or can be saved as a PowerPoint presentation.

For privacy reasons, minutes from Club meetings have now been removed from the website. Minutes from previous meetings can be made available to Members only upon request.

 

Membership ID Tags will be issued to each Member at the January/February meetings. Each will include your Name, BMFA number and CMAC Membership No. These must be attached to your peg at all times when it is on the Pegboard. If this ID is not displayed on the Pegboard then you cannot fly. For security they will be re-issued annually with a different Membership No.

Black Country Models are offering 10% discount on items purchased by Club members providing that your CMAC ID Tag is presented. Items already discounted are not eligible. Speak to Craig.

          It is important that all members read this Complaint urgently

Lock the chain onto the gate post after unlocking the gate - saves it going walkies

There have been a number of 'undesirable' characters entering the field and using it for learner car drivers, letting kids and dogs loose and causing trouble, you are advised to close the gate behind you after entering the field

It has been suggested that as the main track has deep furrows, those whose vehicles are likely to bottom out on the centre bit, keep to the car hedge side of it only when driving in and out of the field so as to not un-necessarily destroy the grass crop to the flight line side of the track
