There are Three GMAC Fly for Fun events organised
again this
year. All are open to visitors (No Walsall Flying Permits
required). However current B.M.F.A. insurance proof is mandatory with a minimum
of BMFA "A" certificate , this is a
requirement of our landlords for anyone to fly at the field. No reasonably sized
model aircraft will be refused on the day unless considered to be problematic.
Pilots will sign to say that all planes have been flown previously and
to
guarantee all flying models physical and electronic integrity.
The idea is to have an informal get together of
pilots. Both GMAC members and pilots from anywhere else.
It is not a show, and anyone can fly. Please see the
Galleries section for photos of previous
events.
Entrance is free, Greenacres members fly for free, but we
charge visiting pilots a nominal fee of £5 for a days flying. Pilots book their
transmitters into Tx control on arrival. Transmitters are tested and kept in Tx
control for safety reasons until a pilot requires it to fly.
Transmitters are returned by pilots immediately after flying. 2.4Ghz transmitters will still have to be booked in so
that flying slots can be controlled.
A mobile caterer is booked (Hot and cold drinks,
burgers, hot dogs etc) and also trade stands to attend.
Camping available and we will be asking for a
small donation. There is plenty of room for
tents and caravans. We always plan to have a barbecue on the Saturday
night, maybe with music. Please let us know if you are intending to
camp. Please send your space requirements to
(see Intro
page for contact details)
Traders have
been invited and some have already booked. All are welcome, again we
will be asking for a donation Please let us know your space
requirements and if you are intending to camp. see Intro page for contact details.
GMAC Members run the whole weekend. Marking out,
pitching tents, car parking, transmitter control, flight line
marshalling etc.
And also packing up afterwards. Please note that any
new volunteers will always be extremely welcome. The more the merrier - many
hands make light work etc etc.
