Membership is open to people of all ages from Juniors to
Senior Citizens and all levels of ability from beginners to the highly

The club owns a flying field known as The Whams situated at
Upper Cumberworth in open countryside with planning permission for flying all
types of model aircraft at most times of the day, seven days a week, and
situated about a kilometre from the nearest habitation.
A separate flying area for the sole use of helicopters is provided
to avoid conflict with fixed wing aircraft.
A large off-road car park is available adjacent to the
flying area.
We have also recently been given kind permission by the landowners to fly slope soaring models from a hillside called Hullock Bank.
