The 13 June meeting at Ashdown Forest was breezy, but once again bright and sunny. That's five meetings in a row, something of a record!

Cloud Tramp Mass Launch 2010

This year's international mass launch of the Cloud Tramp rubber model will take place on Saturday 7 August at 5pm GMT.

Traditionally SE area flyers congregate on Epsom Downs, where Epsom Downs Model Aircraft Club arrange a one day insurance to cover all flyers.

Forty two flyers took part last year, despite the constant rain, so 2010 should be a lot better!

Above, on the right, is organiser Robin Willes who made sure everything ran on time.

There was enough time for Peter Norman to take the Cloud Tramp group photograph.

See more pictures on the Epsom MAC website and news of the international participation on the Cloud Tramp homepage.

SEBMFA Crawley K2 Indoor Meeting 2010

The SEBMFA Crawley Free Flight Indoor Meeting at K2 took place on place on Sunday 7 February at the K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley.

Due to a double booking we used two thirds of the hall, with a full height mesh curtain separating us from a table tennis tournament. K2 is so large that we didn't really notice the reduced space!
