Paul Fennell Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 HiyaI live in Gravesend kent and have tried to join some local model clubs but with no luck ,either they are full or there is a waiting list to join!!So looking for any suitable place to fly locally, been to Blue bell Hill a couple of times but the wind direction means its limited. I fly electric foamies or gliders so can fly anywhere slope or flat fields alike.I have insurance so would anyone have any ideas where i could fly please ? Many thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdy Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Paul,Its a long way, but there is Tonbridge Radio Flyers near Tonbridge,here is their website. You might also want to contact the BMFA and ask.Happy flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Rigg Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm afraid Tonbridge is also currently closed to new members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdy Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Perhaps that explanes why I've never seen a new person in the year I've flown there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Paul and welcome, there are quite a few clubs in North Kent, the BMFA can provide a club contact info - I know there's a Gravesend club, one at Sittingbourne, Barton Point, Bickley, one near Brands Hatch, Sittingbourne, etc..

Chris Card Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I've heard there's a club in Maidstone, but I don't know where they fly and whether they're BMFA or not. Maybe someone knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I'm a member Peevie so yes we're BMFA affiliated the flying fields are probably not as close as the north Kent ones though....PM me if you'd like a contact Paul.
