Sponsorship

Chris completed the run and has hit his donation target - and some. You can still make a donation, however small, all is appreciated.

On the 13th May coming, Chris Bush, your long suffering Club Treasurer, has entered a 10k run around Alton Water reservoir in Suffolk. He is looking for kind sponsorship in support of the British Heart Foundation. If you are interested in sponsoring him please either contact him directly or visit www.justgiving.com/christopher-bush0, which is a secure site for making donations. He is not expecting to win, only to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause!

New Flying Site

Submitted by Tony Merritt on Thu, 05/04/2012 - 16:06

We have a potential new flying site 7 miles north of Ipswich. The club has been given a few weeks to fly the site to see if it is suitable. For details of the location and using the field please log in and go to the Members' Area.

To access the Members' Area you need to register for an account, I will then add you the the 'club member' group which will give you access to the restricted area of the web site.

Tony.

Unusual models

Submitted by john woodward on Thu, 26/04/2012 - 22:04

Among unusual aircraft the ornithopter (flapping wing) must be the most difficult and demanding to design and construct.

Do take a look at "a robot that flies like a bird" on You Tube. It is a truly remarkable piece of German engineering and well worth watching.
