The Club consists of almost all fixed-wing flyers with a few who also occasionally fly helicopters. Helicopter flying only has priority before 10am each day which means that, as we do not fly both together, helicopter flying is limited.

Flying is allowed during daylight hours every day, weather permitting. The Club operates a strict “permit to fly” system that entails every member having to pass a Club proficiency test to demonstrate that they are competent and safe flyers before they can fly solo. Until you have passed this test you must be supervised by a nominated, experienced Club flyer. We offer free tuition and instruction by our registered BMFA instructors.

We hold a Club meeting on the first Wednesday of each month in the main hall at the Patcham Community Centre in Ladies Mile Road, Patcham, Brighton, from 8pm to 10pm from September to May, excluding January. During June, July and August we meet at our flying site just off the Saddlescombe road, near Saddlescombe, North of Brighton, again on the first Wednesday of the month from about 6pm until dusk, weather permitting. Flying is the main event and only a brief report on Club activities is given by the Chairman

The Club requires every Member to hold current Membership of the British Model Flying Association.

If you would like to join our Club, or find out more about us, call in at the flying field on a good flying day or come along to one of our meetings where you will be most welcome. Alternatively e-mail one of our committee members on the contact us page

We would point out that new Club and BMFA Memberships are only available at one of our Monthly Meetings.
