Indoor Flying Dates for 2017/2018 booked

Six Indoor Flying dates booked as follows all 18:30 to 22:00 all in the large blue sports hall at the Sports Connexion in Ryton:



  • Sunday 29th October 2017
  • Sunday 19th November 2017
  • Sunday 10th December 2017
  • Sunday 14th January 2018
  • Sunday 11th February 2018
  • Sunday 11th March 2018


There has been a £5 increase for the venue for the evening (£65 total), but I've negotiated this will be fixed for the 2018/19 season too with no further increase.   Therefore we need 13 people to break even on the evening.  I'm not proposing increasing the cost you pay, but obviously if we cannot get the 13 people to cover the costs then I may need to reassess this. I have the same stipulation with all the bookings that if they get a more lucrative wedding booking, then they may bump us to the Cricket Hall. Obviously they would need to give me plenty of notice on this. As of January 1st 2018, all the nets are being removed from the Cricket Hall, so we'd need to have a look at this to see how it improves are flying options. Hopefully we'll be fine for the large sports hall as per the dates above.   I'll add the dates to the Club Website Calendar and advertise a little wider this year.  Please share with your other flying friends if they wish to attend.  Look forward to see you for the first event on 29th Oct. There is scope to add more dates, but we will assess that as we progress.

Get building a couple of indoor models, I may even retire my indoor Crack Laser which is still going after about four or five indoor seasons!
