Simon Chaddock Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 For my foam light weights the date selected is less of a concern than the weather on the day. i will be there on the chosen date especially if it happens to be a flat calm! ☺️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris poyser Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 OK all after much research and deliberation, e mails from t,committee it has been decided we will revert to our more trad dates of middle of October of 13th or 20th, the club went for earlier dates in an attempt to go for more daylight and good weather but we have done pretty well over the years weather wise and those of you with travelling to do don’t stay late anyhoo this is due to it being brought to our attention a clash with BMFA buckminsters best of British scale flyin on the 29th and it’s easier to change our date. As for the 6th it’s an almost clash with a static event at RAF Cosford on the 28th and people coming from afar will be doing that. Also very close to us. so apologies for the last min changes I’m trying to make sure that we don’t affect other events close by and they don’t affect you and us overly as for the printed date in RCME there are no details printed of location so I’m hoping that anyone reading this will still contact me for details please please if you know of anyone who may not do electronic stuff please pass on messages and fingers crossed we haven’t messed it all up compleatly chris 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris poyser Posted September 20 Author Share Posted September 20 My bad typo the event at Cosford is on the 5th sorry to confuse, 🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris poyser Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 A quick reminder that the scale day has been postponed, there are just to many flying on that day at buckminster and baldock to name two biggies so new dates are 13th of October with reserve of 20th any scale model any size any power can be flown from our hard and grass runways cheers all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Dave Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Hi. Just wondering. Is this event just open to club members or flyers. Or can general spectators come and have a look. I am interested in getting into the hobby and would love to come see what it’s all about Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris poyser Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Spent the afternoon at Ashbourne and I can confidently say that postponing it until later in October is a good plan high winds are forecast tomorrow and when high winds are forecast Ashbourne is not pleasant and very cold so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 our good weather gods will return for scale day 13 th October gates open 8 30 flying starts at 10 til dusk or 6 pm whichever comes first, any scale model welcome be the big small or in between chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris poyser Posted October 1 Author Share Posted October 1 (edited) Sorry to hear that tim, I’m trying hard to find dates that suit all and failing miserably 🤪🤪 im checking the weather daily and long range so far says reasonably dry from 10 till 4 but I know this will change daily. on the subject of where the new site entrance is folks, the issue with some sat nav’s is that Harrison Way is a new access road to the industrial estate so to this end I can recommend using what3words if you have it or getting it if you dont typing into the search bar. Gangs.Ranches.Crafts. Will take you to the gates within 10 mtrs👍👍 chris Edited October 1 by Chris poyser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris poyser Posted Monday at 11:12 Author Share Posted Monday at 11:12 Well it’s less than a week to go to our first date and so far long range suggests ok weather if a bit cold, do dig yer thermals out, I have had this update from chairman re post code DE6 1HA is the post code for the industrial estate. But finding us is much easier than in past with the new road and gates Harrison Way is the road off the new round about on the A52 Ashbourne to Derby road third exit of Harrison way is our entrance it’s actually the first set of gates. I’ve just put the post code into Google maps and it shows the new roundabout so all good if you have what3words it’s even easier gangs.ranches.crafts ( don’t forget the full stops) will put you right outside the gates. Grass strip is in fine fettle. Tarmac too. Loads of parking this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris poyser Posted 15 hours ago Author Share Posted 15 hours ago It’s all still on for Sunday my man local to site says weather forecast is good for Sunday, high pressure expected so that may mean early mists don’t panic they clear, but it will be very cold so thermals on folks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
