COVID19 Restrictions from 1st June 2020The Government has lifted restrictions again during the pandemic.
However, this does not mean business as usual. The Park Authority are requesting that we follow all government guidelines on social distancing, don't meet in large groups, and that public health and safety should remain our top priority. Therefore the Club has issued the following Guidelines:-
- Limit your visits to the Park and try to avoid busy times
- A maximum of 6 Flyers are allowed.
- Keep to a minimum of 2 metres social distancing at all times.
- Take precautions when opening and closing gates and crossing styles. Avoid touching gate latches and wooden posts with bare hands.
- Use Hand Sanitisers or wear gloves whenever possible.
- Don’t handle Models, Transmitters and other items that do not belong to you.
- Limit the number of Models in the Air at any one time to Two ( 2 ).
- Stay Apart, Act Responsibly, and Save Lives.
- You are responsible for your safety and hopefully the safety of others.
Remembers all other Club Rules still apply. In the event of conflict, these guidelines take precedent. Fly safely.

F3F Winter League R6 7 March 2020
Terrific day!
Forecast spot on in all respects.
Winds increasing during the day 8-10m/s during the morning, 10-15m/s in the afternoonCloudy but bright, which al least kept the sun out of your eyes, which can be a problem on the South bowlOnly disappointment is that we only had 8 pilots to enjoy the day.
Still, plenty of flying with 17 rounds completed ( could have done more, but its pretty hectic with only 8 )and some fast flying conditionsMark R once again demonstrated his flying skills with a convincing win, Peter G some equally terrific flying in second, and Paul G not far behind in third
FTD went to Mark R with a 31.04 in R2Thanks to everyone for keeping the show moving along at a cracking pace all day

Next and final WL at Horcum 21st March 2020
F3F Winter League R5 15 Feb 2020
Forecast for storm 'Denis' with wind speeds higher than the last event and 90% chance of rain makes for a fairly low probability of being able to complete the competiton. Therefore the event was cancelled
F3F Winter League R4 1 Feb 2020
Event ABANDONED!!
With wind speeds around 20m/s, but gusts in excess of 25m/s for sustained periods ( 31.6 m/s max recorded peak), and intermittent drizzle from some distant rain clouds, common sense finally prevailed and the eight pilots abandoned any hope of trying to get a comp in.
Having said that, some were game to try, but test flights proved that despite the wind, conditions were not that ballistic, and landing was definitely hazardous.
So, reserve date kicks in, the next meeting being the 15th Feb
Fingers crossed for a little less wind!!
F3f Winter League R3 4 Jan 2020
Another great day on Levisham.
Weather forecast was spot on, but the clear sky meant some careful flying around Base A to avoid the low winter sun! Westerly winds ranging from 8 - 12 m/s gave some fairly decent times, although Levisham variability was evident during most rounds.
14 pilots recorded scores, with a welcome return from Dave Wright. Cengiz now a veteran flyer making his second event and Kyri and Tony adding to the numbers
10 rounds were completed, which gave time to pack up the gear and gather in the carpark for the results, before the daylight faded. A great win for Peter, with Richard Second, and Steve a comfortable Third. FTD went to Richard with a 41.57 in R10. Great Results chaps.
