Thanks I had looked on the BMFA site but Bristol seems lacking in clubs I was hoping someone might know of others.

When I was working a contract at Airbus in Filton I joined the Bristol Radio Controlled Model Aircraft Club which flies near Thornbury.  They are a very friendly club with a nice site remote from houses.  They will want you to do your 'A' test before you can fly solo, but that isn't too onerous, and they generally prefer you not to fly alone.

 

The club flies IC, electric and helicopters.  It isn't really suitable for towline gliders.

 

One of the club members is one of the country's foremost scale builders, and there are others who fly jets and aerobatic models.  They have club nights at a hall in Thornbury and informal gatherings at a local pub in a nearby village.

 

Here is the club's website:  http://84.18.207.67/~ac/

 

Denzil, who is the club chairman is a really nice chap, and I had the pleasure of helping him learn to fly whilst I was there.

 

Good luck and happy flying.
