We are still here but this year has been another difficult time for DMAC. The search for a new flying site continues but with no success so far. The search for a new flying site continues but with no success so far. The positive lead to the north of Dunfermline continues to be followed is ongoing but it is slow progress.
There has been very little flying all year as some of our free flight members have been hit with health issues. To compound the problems poor weather and the SAA free flight site in the Pentland Hills had its permission withdrawn which has put the lid on flying there. That said one of our members has managed to continue to hone his circle tow skills on a small field near Linlithgow.
Our Chairman has managed to do a little control line flying whilst visiting his brother in England. At home he had some success with his discus launch RC glider using a local field close to his home. Winco is not aware if our RC site had any airtime this year. The club has perpetual permission from the Carnegie Trust to fly models at the Pitreavie Sports fields but no CL flying has taken place again due to health issues.
Our Treasurer however has bucked the trend by continuing to top the charts at Indoor Flying meetings at Bathgate. See Forthcoming Events for the calendar of indoor meetings up to the end of the indoor flying season in April.
We have managed a number of social gatherings at a Supermarket cafe and our treasurer’s home. Much Coffee, Tea, Sustenance and blether was enjoyed by members and guests who had been invited to attend via the Contact page of this web site. That page continues to be monitored so please feel free to get in touch and you will get a response.
Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year and hopefully 2025 will be better!
