For almost as long as the club has been running, we have been holding an annual flying competition. Run throughout the year, it is broken down into a series of events, each created as a test of a flyers skills and control of model aircraft. After each round, competitors positions are noted and scores taken and at the end of the year, the competition trophy is awarded to the clubs best pilot.
Everyone is encouraged to take part regardless of ability and is a great way to learn new skills and interact with your fellow members. So please feel free to just turn up on the day and have fun!
