john stones 1 - Moderator Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 We don't do serious/fussy at DVMFC, most attendees are your everyday flyers, anyone feeling they'd like a day out but feels events are a bit daunting, maybe a visit to ours could change your mind. Table top sellers welcome, no charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 The long range weather forecast at the moment is for a bit of wind. 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I have taken the opportunity of the current nice weather to test fly the planes I intend to take. Based on the 16 day forecast Sat looks best for me, no rain & just a 4 mph wind. We shall see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Chaddock Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Just got back from a wonderful day at the DVMFC. I would like to thanks John and all the club members who contributed and made the day run smoothly. Just a touch more wind than forecast but you can't complain a clear blue and seriously warm all day. Flew all I intended including one crash and one technical fault. Many thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 Thanks for the comments folks, it's an absolute pleasure to have you attend our open days, bit breezy this year but you always fly. Sunday was a challenge with wind direction and was met without incident as always, hope to see you again in August. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cripps Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I had a great time at Don Valley, first time I have stayed over for the whole weekend. Saturday was glorious with plenty of flying, Sunday not so much with a difficult crosswind, and very quiet today (Monday). Good to spend some time with Paul Marsh and Chris Bowler (also of this parish) and big thanks as usual to John and the team at Don Valley MFC for the laid-back organisation. I hope to be back in August and promise to try and remember everything next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
