  • 31 October 2007 - We managed to run the ARF Scale Competition on Sunday 28 October 2007 under extremely challenging weather conditions. Strong winds were felt right across the state which no doubt contributed to the lower than expected number of entries. However we decided to press on with the competition, some competitors deciding at the last minute not to fly.
    The final results after flying 3 rounds were:
    1st Neil Addicot Grumman Panther
    2nd Roger Carrigg Shoestring
    3rd Noel Whitehead Extra
    It's pleasing to report that there were no mishaps.
    A full report will be in the November newsletter and a results page is soon to be created for the ARF Scale competitions.

  • 03 October 2007 - Our Xmas party has been booked at the Blackhill Hotel for Friday evening 14 December starting around 6:45PM.
