SWITCH ON JOIN THE CHEDWORTH CLUB

The Chedworth RC Flying Club, situated between Cirencester and Northleach in Gloucestershire, is looking for new members. This long-established club operates from a tarmac runway, 90m by 30m, in private farmland with beautiful Cotswold views. Landing on grass is not available. We have our own locked car park. The club currently has a flying site permit up to 1500 feet for models up to 25kg. We can fly every day of the week except for about seven days during the winter. We are affiliated to the British Model Flying Association, so BMFA membership is a mandatory requirement.

All styles of radio-controlled models are flown at Chedworth, fixed and rotary wing. The proximity of trees and a public footpath across either ends of the runway tends to naturally limit the size of models that may be flown, and gas turbines are limited to a maximum of 120 Newtons. We abide by the noise code so piston engines do require adequate silencing.

The 2023 membership fee is just £65 and there is no joining fee. We do not hold regular club meetings, but we do try and have a few flying events at the airfield each year. Further information and a contact form is available at our website https://www. chedworth-rcfc.org.uk or email secretary.chedworthflyingclub@gmail.com
