Membership

New to the hobby? If you are interested, or considering taking part, in this challenging hobby then come along to one of our flying days and see what goes on. Make yourself known to any of our members and you will be made welcome.

Our club can always be found (weather permitting – i.e. not raining heavily or wind not more than 20mph on the BBC forecasts) – on Saturdays at Kinnersley Manor Flying Field (see the Location page). When we are at the field, the gate is usually left open. If you find the entrance gate locked and can see cars parked in the field, give three short blasts on the horn and we will come to let you in.

Please Note: Currently, as of the date to the side of this page, we have had to begin a waiting list for any new applications for membership. We will, of course, respond to enquiries and keep any applicants appraised of any changes.

The club financial year runs to the 30th September and the BMFA insurance runs to the 31st December.

Membership Fees

In addition to the Club yearly subscription fee, there is a one off joining fee; this to effectively ‘buy in’ to the clubs existing assets. This joining fee is £10 for Adults and free for Juniors.

Yearly subscriptions are shown below. Third party insurance and member to member cover is in the BMFA membership which is mandatory. Further, your aircraft will have to display your operator ID issued by the Civil Aviation Authority.

See the BMFA Web Site for BMFA information and fee details. Further details or queries can be resolved by contacting our treasurer@edmfc.org.uk

Also, see the CAA website for information about Registering a drone or model aircraft | UK Civil Aviation Authority (caa.co.uk)
