24/03/2020 - Flying Site at Gumley closed until further notice due to Covid-19

All, following the guidelines put out by the BMFA on Monday (shared by John Payne via email) and the latest Government curbs on life including banning of public gatherings of more than two people. Unfortunately, we now have to close the flying site at Gumley immediately until further notice. Essential maintenance will still continue and will be coordinated by the Site Manager.

All LMAC calendar events over the next 12 weeks will be postponed and later reviewed when hopefully the situation has improved. These decisions have not been taken lightly, but I would urge all members to adhere to them. As a Committee, we will keep a close eye on updates and share any decisions with you then after.

Finally, please stay safe and look after yourselves during these very unsettling times for us all.

I look forward to flying with you all very soon. Take care.

New LMAC Chairman - Matt Chamberlain statement

Following on from the Leicester Model Aero Club (LMAC) AGM this week where I was honoured to become your new Chairman, I just wanted to share a few words for those members who couldn’t attend and to reiterate the points I made as we move into 2020.

Firstly, on behalf of the LMAC committee and the whole membership (past and present); I would like to extend a huge thank you to Andy Prime for his excellent stewardship of the club over the past 20 years as Chairman and 33 years spent on the committee. Andy has made many significant contributions to the club over this term – far too many to single out. Many thanks once again Andy and I look forward to flying with you moving forward.

As I stated at the meeting, I have no aspirations to make significant changes to the way the club is run in the short term. I really don’t think there is a need at this time. Having visited several BMFA events and other flying clubs over the past few years, we truly do have a premier setup at Gumley and, for me, it’s important to maintain and protect what we have.  As a committee, we will continue to look to improve the club and take on board new suggestions.  The club continues to benefit from a healthy financial position, but in such a low-interest-rate environment and with rising price, we will continue to keep a close eye on spending whilst maintaining a reserve/emergency fund.  As we have done in the past, monies will be invested where required for the betterment of the RC flying hobby and club in line with the wishes of the late Jack Marsh.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen legislation introduced in response to drones being used where they shouldn’t – obviously having an impact on ‘traditional’ RC flyers across the world. It is my hope that the introduction of the new CAA proficiency test will not put too many of these traditional RC flyers off from continuing with the hobby.  I’m happy to support any members with this as well as the continued push for members to attain BMFA achievements. As a club, we will be running some further achievement scheme workshops during 2020 and continuing with the training programme using the new equipment which has been purchased by the club to support this goal.

We will look to schedule some competitions in the event calendar for 2020 and I’m keen that we hold our annual Gala day in 2020 – it has not been possible the last two years due to poor weather. It has been encouraging over the last couple of years as part of the indoor flying to see a great crop of younger RC flyers progress. I think it is important that we look to encourage and recruit new members into the club. This is not always easy I know with youngsters being enticed by smartphones and games consoles, to the detriment of other hobbies and past-times.

I encourage all LMAC members of all RC flying disciplines to continue to enjoy the excellent facilities at Gumley and welcome any suggestions as to how we can continue to improve, whilst also maintaining a safe flying environment. Members are welcome to contribute to committee meetings and raise any suggestions with me personally.

Finally, I look forward to flying with you all moving forward and working with the whole membership in my new role as we look to improve and protect what we have at the excellent Leicester Model Aero Club.

Indoor Flying 2019/2020 dates

The nights are drawing in and it’s getting colder – it can mean only one thing…  The return of RC Indoor Flying!   I’ve booked five sessions over the next five months at our usual Sport Connexion Large Blue sports Hall in Ryton.  The sessions will run from 6pm until 9:30pm (slightly earlier start and finish to previous years).  I’m happy to report for a 10th year running, the price will remain the same at £5.00 for flyers over 16 years of age. Depending on the number of flyers attending, I may need to adjust the cost slightly to cover the overall fee for the hall for each session, but I hope this will not be required and as I’ve done previously, can offer a free session based on any profits overall.
As usual, there will be hot drinks and snacks available on the evening and all small RC indoor flying models are encouraged.
The dates for the sessions are as follows and have been added to the LMAC Calendar on our website:

Sunday 3rd November 2019
Sunday 1st December 2019
Sunday 12th January 2020
Sunday 9th February 2020
Sunday 22nd March 2020

Any changes to dates or cancellations will all be communicated in advance of the sessions, so just check the website, Facebook or email for any updates.
Looking forward to seeing you over the winter months for some indoor flying fun and banter!

THE FLYING FIELD WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER

THE FLYING FIELD WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER

Further to the email from John Payne on Monday 9th September 2019. The Flying Field will be closed on Sunday 22nd September 2019 to allow the field levelling work to be conducted safely. The soil and sand will be dropped off in advance in preparation for the levelling the field on Sunday 22nd.   If you are available on Sunday 22nd September, please go to Gumley to pitch in with the work so that it can be completed and the field reopened as soon as possible.  It's an opportunity for those who have voiced their opinions on the subject to assist!   Obviously if plans change, we will let you know, so keep an eye out here on the Website, Facebook LMAC Group Page and the LMAC Calendar.

Many thanks

*** Gala Day Postponed *** 11th August 2019.

*** Gala Day Postponed *** It may not come as a surprise that Gala Day has been cancelled for this Sunday - 11th August 2019. After reviewing the weather forecast for the weekend we thought it best not to go ahead with the event and we will reschedule it.

Sorry about that but we will look to get it in later in the year, possibly combining it with Warbirds Day, but I will confirm once a decision has been made. The Control Line Carrier, Schneider Racing and Scale event has also been cancelled.
