By the Chairman:

“Trevor and I will be running the evenings as usual starting at 1930 and  usually ending about 2130. Earlier this year, in the spring, the  attendance was very small so I am hoping that all the Shockies and Red  Baron type aircraft will have been made and are waiting to be maidened  to increase the numbers.

Helicopters, quads, fixed wing, all OK in their time slots
Round The Pole (RTP) for the last half hour or hour, depending on demand (See here for RTP pictures)

We have access to toilets. 

To find Durlston Court School, Barton-on-Sea, New Milton, Hants. BH25 7AQ, coming from Christchurch on the Christchurch to Lymington Road, go past Fawcett's Field (on left) and continue to the traffic lights. Go over  the lights and take the next road turning on the right (400m past Lidl), into Becton Lane.

The school entrance is about 600m down Becton Lane on the right hand side.  Please do not arrive early - the gate at the end of the drive may be  locked and you may end up queuing in the road. On entry, follow the  drive, bearing right at the end. Now drive across a small playground  diagonally between two buildings. The Sports Hall is now on your right  and has a large clock on the right hand side. Please leave the entrance  doors clear when parking.

No flying fee for Club members”
