The
MayFly model flying meeting at Old Warden is ON!
Despite
severe waterlogging of the grass car park areas, it has been decided that the event
this weekend will go ahead, but with the following changes to usual
arrangementsL
·
All
weekend camping will be in the Spinney, opposite the main Museum entrance.
·
A
one-way system for all vehicles will operate on the airfield – entry at main
entrance (North), exit at the college gate (South).
·
Vehicles
must NOT drive on grass areas – NO EXCEPTIONS. Parking will be arranged on hard
standing, or on the sides of the metalled road running through the aerodrome.
·
The
gates that are either side of the southern end of the main runway will be
locked during the weekend, to prevent vehicles driving under the radio control
flight area, which is positioned further south than usual.
·
Main
parking will be in front of the hangars – please park where indicated by the
designated Marshalls
– this area is best suited for Free Flight and Control Line fliers.
·
Radio
fliers will be directed to the area of the road adjacent to the RC flying area,
near the southern exit gate. Please park where instructed by the designated
Marshals.
·
The
Trade area will be placed at the South end of the hangars on the end of the
hardstanding.
·
All
grass areas are able to be walked on, but please be aware that there are many
waterlogged patches. The best route from one area to another is to walk along
the airfield fence, where the grass conditions are relatively better.
PLEASE
NOTE: These
are unusual circumstances, so please be patient if directed to a parking area
that may not be optimum for you. Some walking will, I am afraid, be inevitable.
The Parking Marshalls are volunteers and are working to explicit instructions –
remember a smile is better than a scowl and a kind word is better that abuse –
let’s all try and make the best of it!
The
ModelAir Team hope that you have a wonderful Old Warden weekend!
