Membership
The membership will be restricted to what the Committee feels appropriate and all Club members must be fully paid up members of the BMFA
Club Membership is renewed annually and runs from 31st December each year for 12 months.
All new applications for membership must be made through the Club Secretary with final approval resting with the Committee.
New members will be required to serve a period of trial membership before being accepted as a full member and pay a joining fee.
Members who have let their membership lapse for more than 3 months will be treated as new members
Each member will be entitled to bring a guest, however, the member is fully responsible for their guest’s conduct.
All flying guests must have their own insurance with the exception of those receiving a trial flight under the instruction of a registered club instructor.
Anyone who brings along a pet must ensure that it is kept under control at all times and in accordance with the BMFA guidelines.
All members and guests must take litter home with them and must at all times follow the written and unwritten codes and guidelines of the countryside. Members and guests must also abide by the wishes of the landowner and the flying site rules.
Safety Issues.
All safety guidelines as set out by the BMFA and the Committee must be followed.
If the Club Safety officer is not present then flyers should nominate a Committee member, or if none are present, a suitable Club member to act as temporary safety officer.
While the club encourages both fixed and rotary wing, it is not acceptable that both fly together, therefore flyers on the day should arrange flight times and/or separate safe areas for each discipline.
There should be no more than four aircraft in the air at any one time.
The club will use ‘flying on the peg’ for those using 35MHz
Frequency control for 35MHz is by Peg Board. When a peg is on a channel number it will be deemed that this channel number is in use.
Those using 2.4 ghz will use guidelines as set out by the BMFA.
Flying Sites
The clubs principle flying site is Tyrella Polo Field, which the Club rents on an annual basis. This site is shared with other users who have priority use over model flying for reasons of safety. All club members are required to act accordingly when others are present at the field and either cease flying or fly small aircraft such as park flyers in a safe manner and safe areas.
Other flying sites may be available in the future but use will be restricted depending on the nature of the site and how its use is funded.
Committee
The Committee will be made up as follows:
Club Chairman Norman Stewart.
Secretary Ian Trevor.
Treasurer Glen Stewart.
BMFA Delegate Norman Stuart
Welfare Officer Ivan Cooke
The Committee will stand as shown above and will from time to time ask members to join the Committee as needed, there will be no elections for the above posts and the Committees decisions are final.
It is envisaged that most of the Clubs business will be conducted informally.
