avtur Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I've used several local place names in the search facility but found nothing so my question is ... anyone a member of, know of or recommend a club around Stockport / South Manchester area please?

Andy Ennis Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Ashton MAC are in the area, but are currently full until next year. Going further afield, there's also Sale MFC, and I know that the Phoenix Club in Chelford are currently looking for members. Ashton and Sale both have links from the BMFA club search, but Phoenix doesn't have any contact details on there. A call to BMFA headquarters may yield results in that respect.

David Gilder Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Or a little further out is http://www.dpmac.co.uk/. Thats the Dark Peak Model Aircraft Club in Glossop. (My club so I'm biased!!) Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Ennis Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Olly I presume you are a member at Ashton. If so, may I say Hi to a fellow member!, I joined this year. Please say hello if you see me, (I'll be the one with all the Parkzone Foamies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Andy, I am indeed. I'm there a lot less than I would like as a result of having a job which takes me away on a lot of weekends. I'm the one who tends to fly a big foam powered glider. Very easy to fly, when the prop stays on anyway... I might get down tomorrow but doubt it as I'm working away again this weekend, failing that I'll definatly be over for the easter break.

IDD15 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Avtur Another three local clubs to consider are the Smithy, who fly wet power and electric on a very nice patch behind the Total Fitness Gym. BATS who fly mostly gliders/esoarers at Seal Rd in Bramhall, but also have an electric "park fly" group. They are also very active on the local slopes. Thirdly if you are into heli's then the Cheshire Hell e Cats fly on a field south of Woodford aerodrome. So we are quite well off for clubs in South Manchester really! If you want the contact details for any of the three above drop me a PM. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
