To add a little entertainment and light-hearted competition to the up and coming BBQ Club Nights, we thought it would be a good idea to have a bit of fun with a Catapult Glider Competition.

To ensure a relatively level playing field, this will be ‘one make series’ and the weapon of choice for the competition is the Captain Thermal Catapult Glider designed by Stuart Marsden.

Given the fact that current weather patterns for the foreseeable future are looking rather unpredictable, the Mike Hutchins Memorial Event will be postponed until later in the season.

Updates will be posted here in due course, so please check back regularly.

Training for pilots wishing to gain their BMFA A-Certificate

The Club will be running several training days throughout the coming year aimed at those members who wish to achieve the BMFA A-Certificate standard of flying.

Training sessions will commence at 10.00 and run through to 14.00 on the day. General club flying will be taking place at the same time and won’t be effected.

Training for A-Certified Pilots and beyond

Following on from feedback and successes last year, the Club will be running several training sessions throughout the coming year aimed at those members who have already gained their BMFA A-Cert and wish to “move up” and progress their flying skills to a higher level.

This is not aimed at attaining the BMFA B-Cert but rather focussed on areas the flyer wishes to progress. This could be a desire to fly basic manoeuvres more accurately/consistently or to learn more advanced skills - it’s what you want it to be, and hopefully in a relaxed environment.
