COVID-19 Safety

In line with the Government relaxing some of the current restrictions & advice from the BMFA, the flying field will be open as of Monday 29th March 2021.

The BMFA advice of “Turn Up, Fly & Go Home” still applies, the reopening of our field is to facilitate flying activities, our flying field is not a venue intended for social gathering.
