We are aware that cost have all risen as has the rent for the venue. We have reduced the flying time to four hours to keep costs down as last year we struggled to make the rent, but four hours is still good value for a decent sized hall

Posting this for Roy.

HELP! I’m almost finished building a big Jodel Robin. The canopy arrived last week but it needs some fettling to make it fit. I’m a bit wary of doing it in case I make a mistake. Is there anyone out there with experience of doing it? I think that I have all the tools needed and the kettle is always on! Roy.

Hi All


I hope this email finds you and your families well.

Firstly, I would like to inform you all that Brian Hughes, a valued member of the club for many years, sadly passed away recently. Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Secondly, due to unforeseen circumstances the club AGM for 13th December 2021 has been cancelled. 

The AGM will now be rearranged for January 2022. The date will be circulated when it has been finalised with the Harps Inn.

I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
