kc Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If nobody suggests a club then you could look in the BMFA website for the list of clubs in each county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane wallace Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 thanks chaps i havr already tried their website but with no luck. Would love to go back to my old club as i trained there and the guys are great but i know the farmer is very fussy and wouldn't like someone driving in the field . There is a bunch who fly over near my folks just outside bletchley but lately when i gone past they not been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Posted by duane wallace on 26/10/2011 13:32:15: Would love to go back to my old club as i trained there and the guys are great but i know the farmer is very fussy and wouldn't like someone driving in the field . Have you tried speaking to the farmer and explaining your situation - you could approach him as a non-member of the club so not putting any pressure on him but you might be pleasantly surprised. I'd imagine that we're a bit too far from you - out towards Hitchin - but our site would be ideal as we park close to our main pits due to site limitations. We have a decent safety fence to accomodate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane wallace Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 have tried that martin but no luck.if you guys were a bit closer i would jump at it . The main problem seems to be limits on members allowed . thanks anyway chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Hi Duane, Have a look at Weston on the Green MFC, its just up the A34 from Bicester, so not too far from you (?). It has a great little patch, you can unload in the pits and the parking area is really close. The only problem is if the field gets too soggy the track to it gets closed and you then have a short trek, but thats fairly common I think. I,m not a member anymore as I've moved, but they are a good bunch of lads. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
