Club Rules

Now is the long awaited club rules for 2007.  

What you will immediately spot is the brevity of them compared to the last proposed set. They have been deliberately kept to one sheet of A4 for simplicity.  They have to be used in conjunction with other publications CAP 685 and the BMFA Members’ handbook, plus local flying instructions (to be published shortly).  

They do not contain any “how to do things” as these are covered elsewhere as advice to members, many of which can be found on this site, for example for a full explanation of how to use the frequency board in item 4 see Club frequency board.
