Below is a message from our Chairman Peter Evans (with edits 24th July):

"We plan to have a flat field day up at the Jeffrey’s farm at Charterhouse next Sunday, 27th July.

We should be able to park on the field and the plan will be to fly pretty much anything that we can get into eg IC, electric, bungee, electric winch launch and we may even get Gary Page to come along to do a bit of aerotowing although that has yet to be confirmed. After this weekends aerotow event at the farm the field has a 100m diameter mown circle in the centre which should help with take offs and landings. As usual there will be a small charge to attend for each car (£1.50) and £1.50 per pilot.
 
Bob Flook has some WMSA BBQ coals ready for you to cook some food (you will need to provide your own food) although we have yet to get hold of a portable BBQ so if you have one you can bring along please let me know.
 
Start time will be around 10.00 and finish time when we are all worn out or too wet and cold to carry on!
 
Hope to see you there

Cheers

Pete"


For those members that have forgotton how to get there or others who have never been, below are directions to the site:

To get to the farm, going South on the A38 turn left about 0.5 mile past Churchill just after the petrol station, go through Shipham and take the first left onto Longbottom. Go a couple of miles and turn right at the T junction. The farm is on the left a couple of hundred yards down the lane.

To get to the farm, going North turn off the A38 towards Cheddar (Cross Lane and then A371). At the petrol station turn left onto Shipham Road. After about a mile or so look for a right turn onto Longbottom. Go a couple of miles and turn right at the T junction. The farm is on the left a couple of hundred yards down the lane.

If you have satnav you can search for BS40 7XU.
