Membership

It is a condition of membership of NBRMAS that all members belong to the BMFA as well. The insurance cover provided by the BMFA is second to none.

It was decided in 1991 that the club should amass a fund not only to enable it to purchase its own flying field in due course, but also to have sufficient cash reserves to cope with any flying site contingency. To this end a fund was established in 1991 as a Joining Fee. This is paid as one initial payment of £45 and is non returnable. Juniors pay £10.00 per year until they reach 18 years old whereupon their payment increases to their outstanding balance. The flying site is deemed the single most important element of the club.

We continue to build the fund and use it to improve the field facilities. We have a new Portacabin and have just bought a 3.2 Kw generator for the electric modellers’ battery chargers and other uses of course. Our next project is to replace our secure store.
