It is with regret we have to inform you of the sad death in an accident of long time BMFA Member and ex Northern Area Vice Chairman Derek Haviour.
NORTH EASTERN AREA IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The North Eastern Area committee have decided to prohibit the use of smoke systems on model aircraft flown at Albemarle Barracks; this was decided during the meeting dated February 7th 2007. The reason being that army personnel watching a model using a smoke system thought it was on fire, and almost initiated a fire alert. We have an excellent relationship with the army at Albemarle which we are keen to keep, so full compliance with this would be appreciated; unfortunately this rule also includes the Geordie Nats on 9th September 2007.
For any more information on either the Geordie Nats or on booking Albemarle for a club event, which the area now subsidise, please contact Mr Terry Bailey FSMAE on 07887 846078 or 0191 5490064
