Now that the kids are back to school the weather finally seems to have taken a turn for the better. Given the weather that we have had for the last 2 weekends maybe we are going to have an Indian summer with some great flying weather at the weekends. Make sure you add Sunday the 23rd of September to your diary as this is when we are having our next club fun-fly. Hopefully this will be as well attended as the last one held on the 5th of August. More details on this and other club news is now available in this months club newletter.

So dust of your trusty club funfly model and make a trip to the Club on Sunday the 23rd and maybe you will get your name in the newletter next time........

Finally the next club meeting is going to be held on the 24th of September. Details in the newletter.

10-August-07 :

Just back from Holidays so I missed the last fun fly competition due to be held last weekend. Unfortunately the Schulter Cup won't be held this year but hopefully it will be back in 2008.

I attended the last day of the Jet World Masters held in Enniskillen in July and you can find photos of some of the models here. Unfortunately as it was the last day I didn't get to see all that many models but those that I did see have only made me more determined to travel to the UK next year to attend one of the model Jet meetings to see more.

If anyone has any photos that they would like to share please drop me a line with them and I will add them to the site.

A copy of the July newsletter is available here.
