Rich Griff Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Wow, a mail merge is a real quick method of letting bmfa members know of stuff like the "new caa call for replies" which I was made aware of by an rcme forum member.... Anyways, any bmfa country member loan fliers in caernarfon north Wales area on here ? Fancy forming a small club affiliated to bmfa so we have somewhere "official" to fly from, before the caa effectively bans model flying from everywhere except an official site and it's satalite locations ( slope soaring sites ) ? Andy, can a country bmfa member "listen in" on the upcoming web meeting to do with "Wales bmfa area " , particularly north Wales, having many scatered, local and isolated slope soaring sites.

Where are you getting the false information from that the CAA is going to effectively ban model flying from everywhere except an official site and why are you spreading such false information? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyGnome Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Nothing says flying will be banned - looks like, at worst, you'll need some RemoteID technology. Bit of an over-reaction, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Meade Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Rich - just join the Lleyn MAC, we're not that far away. We've registered all the slopes through the BMFA too, and we're sorting a NOTAM for the flat field site to allow higher flying - great for when we start having aerotow meets next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Griff Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Hi Andy, Yes, Frank and the lads....was a member years ago when mother in law lived up on cilan headland. Increasing mobility and transport problems dictate a closer to home flying site for the larger planes... Glad your local slopes are official and hopefully fully protected if feared restrictions come into force. May rejoin anyway in new year, new hip I hope but not holding my breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
