| the club presentation this £618 cheque to a local youth club. How to Find Us We are now located on the B757 Birdston Road about half way between Kirkintilloch and Milton of Campsie. From Kirkintilloch we are about 1 1/2 miles from MacDonald’s, just before the village of Birdston, you will see the 30 MPH speed signs, we are on the LEFT thru the RED gate. We now have a purpose built field, which is well maintained with virtually no obstructions. As we share with the local gun club, there are some restrictions at the field; usually the first Sunday of the month is gun club only. With exception to the gun club we have access 10am to 8pm every day We accommodate most types of radio controlled model aircraft, including fixed wing, multi-engine, helicopters, glider etc. The club is affiliated to the SAA and operate to their safety code and achievement scheme. If you would like to join our club or ask us about model flying, send us an email. The Entrance Road After several days of had work the road is now cleaner, smoother and ultimately safer to drive along, however we would like to point out that the road does have a speed limit of 10MPH, this is imposed by the land owner, we would be grateful if you adhere to this limit. The hill is now smooth with no tyre ruts of any kind; this will be pleasing to hear by those members that have very low slung sports cars, so no exhausts being ripped off by protruding boulders. This may pose a dilemma by these drivers, as how do you get your big models up to the field in those types of cars? The Field The main runway is looking better and better every day, with run off areas and everything being well maintained. The facilities are second to none; so it is surprising that with a membership of over 40 we only see a dozen regular members turning up each week! Where have the rest of you gone?? We now have starting areas with purpose built starting tables, the benches are used only for assembly of your models “no starting of models Please” all models should be placed along the safety fence once assembled or flown ready for your next flight away from the starting areas and assembly tables. |
