URGENT: Field Levelling Help Volunteers

URGENT:  Well we are so close to the good weather after such a miserable winter. However the field is in need of tender loving care.
We have ordered six tons of top soil to be delivered this Friday 4th April to help us level the waves in the field.  The bags will be placed near the hollows.  We require volunteers for the soil spreading please come along to assist on SUNDAY 6th April.  MUSTER 10:00 a.m. Please bring wheelbarrow, shovel and rake as this is better than using your field boxes or old wing wreck pieces.  Anytime you can spare will be appreciated.  Those with big boots and of heavy disposition will help with the 'rolling'.  Will be a good laugh for all!
Thanks Simon 0770 834 5278

Sunday.

Nice to see a few members down the field on Sunday.

Just for you John.

Here Comes The Sun

The field is drying well and soon we will be back to normal - that's if the rain leaves us alone - what a winter its been...
Had a go of my speed boat again but I'm not going to post the video here because it only flies on water!

Scale Day Timing UPDATE

IMPORTANT UPDATE
2014 Club Scale Day. Due to the prolonged wetness of the field and the need to both carry out the levelling repairs and allow two or three weeks of practice and general readiness of planes, the next planned dates are Sunday 25th or Monday 26th of May.
However, please do email me to register your interest in entering as indicated in the Scale Day Blog page.  The list of entrants is growing all the time.  Let's make it a day to remember.

It's Very Fast.

After leaving the field it was my turn to play - a new toy I have had for over a week was dying to be tried out - this was my chance.
Chance to use the plane batteries for something different and a little bit bigger than our club field puddle. Great value.

At Last We Are Starting To See Life At Our Flying Field.

Went down to get Trevs new engine going and as the sun was out many others had the same idea.

Local Thamesmead Club

As you can see we are not the only ones with a mud problem.

Great

Think of the fun this little guy had...

Sheppey - The Island We Live On...

As the weather continues to throw everything at us (and most of Europe) perhaps some entertainment is in order... The following links are about the island on which our flying club is based - not only is this island the birthplace of British aviation but it also has a rich naval heritage...
Forgive this post as its not about aviation but about the majestic history of this little island on which our model planes fly. Sheppey gets so little publicity regarding the important events in history the island has played however so many people from so many countries view this site it will do no harm to inform people about the island on which many of our members live. Regards Peter.

Frustrated Video For Club Members (& others).

Still getting a lot of people looking at the club Blog:-
 (You can see how many, scroll down to the box on the left side).
Because the weather has been so bad I have tried to make a video which will lift your sprits...
So watch the video and sing out loud to all your family.
The video clearly shows how a lot of us must be feeling at the moment so let's find that "British Determination" and have a good old sing song. (Smile).
PS - Sorry about Air India...

January 2014

I suspect it wont be forgotten too quickly either - we only had two dry days in the whole month...
