When
we started the club, there was
just a field and minimal facilities. Now we have
a club compound, with a clubhouse, barbecue area,
children's play area and a large toilet block
with disabled facilities. The field has been transformed
by pop-up irrigation to give us a huge expanse
of lovely green grass. A bitumen strip 150 metres
long has been laid so that jet planes and large
scale models can take off and land safely. The
first Jet Action was in June 1994, this year will
see the eleventh anniversary of Jet Action. Profits
from this event and other club events have been
ploughed back into the club and facilities. Construction
of the control line facility in one corner of
our field is now complete. The control line facility
is of World Class Standard and attracts interstate
and international competition. The club has many
members, some are also affiliated with other clubs.

A barbecue lunch is provided
most Sundays at a nominal cost. Club meetings
are held every two months on the Sunday at the
flying field. Most Sundays between 10.00 a.m.
and 1.00 p.m. the club runs an instruction program.
(See our training
calendar) This program is for beginners
who wish to learn to fly and attain their Bronze
Wings and for flyers who wish to advance to Gold
Wings standard. "Buddy box" facilities
are available - this way a beginner can fly safely,
reassured that no harm will come to the model
aircraft.
The
club holds one major public
event each year. Jet Action -
which is one of the major jet events in Australia.
At Christmas we have a dinner for our members.
If you would like to come along and try your hand
at flying, please contact our Secretary - Alan
Diggle or our President - Steven Popowicz.
