.: competitions

The dates for the 2010 Summer Flying Competions are shown in the table below. Simon Askew (your Competition Secretary) is very keen for as many members as possible to participate in this year's competitions and so each event comprises 2 separate catergories; I/C Powered Aircraft and Electric Powered Aircraft.

You will also notice that for two of the competitions the model will be supplied! So, there is absolutely no excuse why every flying member (Senior or Junior) should not to have a go in at least one of the events.

In addition to the regular awards, there will be a searate award for Junior Flyers.
Please, please make an effort to participate and support your hard working Competition Secretary. The more the merrier! Let's make this another memorable competition year.

Simon can be contacted on 07779723704 for a weather decision  on the day of a competition.
