Green Acres MAC Power R/C Funfly
21st/22nd June 2008

     

This year, following the success last year, we have a new field layout with an even longer flight line so we hope it will be fuller than ever. So if you’re a power R/C flyer with BMFA or LMA insurance and an A cert or better please join us, if you're a spectator bring yourself and the family along for the day or the weekend and enjoy the diversity, variety, and power of R/C Flight..

We also have a shiny new club mower so the strip should be in tip top short cut condition.

See last years event

Campers are welcome, we ask for a donation and we request you please book ahead of time to guarantee a space. All traders are welcome, again we request that you let us know you are coming.

All flyers visitors and families are welcome and admission to the field is free. There will be a BBQ and entertainment on Friday/Saturday night for our pilots, campers, volunteers and guests.

We expect a number of Traders to attend.

(NB. If you’re a camper or trader please call to book your pitch). or use

Although we have a first come first served policy for best caravan pitch there should be more than enough space to accommodate trade and campers. It would be helpful to us if you could pre book your intention to stay overnight/weekend and booking a place prior to arriving will guarantee you a space (we would hate to have to turn you away if we get too many campers).
