Subscription fees for 2024 were agreed at the recent AGM, so please pay them ASAP to keep your membership current. It is important that you have paid your membership as this provides you with the required insurance to fly at the Chouet & Pleinmont sites.
The new rates can be found on the ‘Committee Members & Subscription Fees’ page.

DRONE OPERATION BULLETIN
In response to the continued popularity of the operation of ‘Drones’ – (Small Unmanned Aircraft), the Club wishes to offer help and advice to any prospective or indeed current operator, particularly concerning the latest legal aspects of drone operation.
As a result, we have put together a page which we hope will answer many of the Frequently Asked Questions concerning the safe operation of these craft.
Please refer to the page – ‘DRONE operation FAQ’s’ for futher information.
Important notice – Should you be unfortunate enough to have your model end up within the wire compound on top of the bunker at the western end of the Chouet site, please contact either a committee member or Ronez (256426) so as to gain access to retrieve the model.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ENTER THE COMPOUND WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF RONEZ
Members are reminded that no vehicles are permitted onto the flying site unless previously agreed by the committee. Any vehicle so permitted, must stay to the outer edges of the runways and must not drive across any runway area.
GMFC Pilots please note that you should not fly at Chouet unless you have current membership as you will not be insured. Please contact Dave Wilkinson with your subs/details.
——–IMPORTANT REMINDER——-
There is to be NO overflying of the ‘green waste site’ whilst it is in operation. Failure to comply with this rule will result in disciplinary action being taken… you have been warned !
Huge thanks to the members who continue to give their time to do maintenance of the flying site….
