ASRCM Spring Fun Fly May 19th
Apr 26^th, 2012 at 3:27pm

ASRCM is hosting a spring fun fly on May 19th in celebration of the club's new flying site. Rain dates will be may 20th and May 21st.

All Flyers are welcome. Flying starts at 8am. There will be no registration fee and a free barbecue lunch (sponsored by Geoff Davis, owner of MIGHTY SMALL CARS) will be provided at noon.

MAAC of course is required.

To get to our new site take highway 224 (at the flashing light just before/after the Provincial Wildlife Park), proceed about 2.5 kilometres to the Saint Andrews River Road on the left. Proceed up the Saint Andrews River Road approximately two kilometres to Lynch Road on the left. (this is the first road off Saint Andrews River road. Go to the end of Lynch (couple of hundred yards) until it turns into a farm road through the trees. Follow this road about 100 yards to a large open field. Turn right up over this field and you will then see our site on the hill to the right.

Flyers are reminded of the club's upcoming fun fly this weekend may 19.

We will have a number of nice prizes donated by John Hatt of Maritime Hobbies. John has been very generous year after year for fun fly events throughout the province. A BIG thank you to John!

Because of the long weekend we have two "rain date" days in case of bad weather.

Geoff Davis of Mighty Small Cars is supplying the food for the barbecue! Many thanks to Geoff!
