Ramsey MAC

Model aeroplane flying club

The new hut is now installed and the benches and table returned and ready to use , although there is still a second phase to fit a panel fence between the two cabins and to grass the area uncovered by the re-alignment of the new smaller unit, the aim is to fit an extension to the transmitter shelf on one side and to give a wind break to the other (BBQ) area.

The new hut will also be lowered as part of the second phase, the larger cabin has also been subjected to a refit with the store enlarged with new shelving fitted to give us a better storage facility, the addition of a workbench in the area recovered from the removal of the now redundant toilet section will give an emergency repair area out of the wind etc.

The bench area will have containers to hold (1) found items left behind by members and(2) one for surplus items for passing on (freebies) also it would be nice to have some items that could be used for on site repairs so if you are cleaning up the workshop please consider this.

The larger hut will continue to be the primary cabin and will keep the windsock and notice boards although there are first aid kits in both cabins.

Thanks to all who have helped in any way.

During the next week or so the small hut will be replaced, the larger cabin will come into use as the primary hut and will be home to windsock etc. there will be disruption in the accomodation for a day or three until we have made the change over as the larger unit is also undergoing internal reconstruction, with more shelving being installed and the removal of the internal toilet as we no longer need this facility due to the purchase of a toilet unit outside last year.

NEW HUT has today Thursday 6th May been delivered.

Although not in the club rules, the committee has decided that from now on the roadway parallel to the field is designated a NONSTOP zone, therefore would members entering and leaving the site use the established method, by waiting for a wave through from the pilots or nearby members, blow horn if not seen.
If the above method fails, only enter or exit the site when all aircraft manoeuvres are away from the roadways.
All movements along this length of road are to be carried out in an expedient manner without speeding.
These instructions will be reviewed and added to the rules at the next reprint.

Field clean up morning and BBQ. Please do not fly on this morning, to allow club members to do repairs to the pits, huts and field. Flying can resume once the BBQ is underway.

Again, all helpers welcome!

The Committee would like to thank all members who gave up their flying to help with the clean up. It was well attended and the BBQ rounded it off nicely.
