Meetings and Minutes

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Roger Broad, who lost his battle with cancer on February 3rd. Roger’s great flying interest was slope-soaring, though he recently took up powered flight and was delighted to pass his ‘A’ certificate at the first attempt. He made many friends from all over the country whilst attending the Bring’n'Fly event run by the Lleyn MAC on their beautiful peninsula in North Wales. Roger would often turn up in Wales with more models than he could possibly fly and with his sense of humour often awarded himself the ‘Prat of the week’ award. His enthusiasm and generosity of spirit enriched the lives of all who met him and I consider myself privileged to have had his friendship. We extend to his wife and family our deepest sympathy.

UPDATE

We have received a good number of entries for both classes of the competition already but it is not too late to submit your teams’ entry for this year’s challenge. All supporting documentation must be with the judging panel by Thursday the 5th of May in order to avoid accruing penalties.

The presentation element will take place at the Yorkshire Air Museum on Saturday 4th of June and the flight element of the competition is to be held at Elvington Airfield on Sunday the 5th of June.

Further details to follow.
