Norwind Flyers

Some news from David Whitehouse.

“I’ve basically taken over running Norwind, from Tom Tomlinson, who at 80 has decided to take a step back.

We are a group of mainly indoor free flight fliers who hold regular monthly meetings in Rochdale from September to May.

We need new flyers to keep our numbers at a viable level. We fly for fun but also hold regular competitions, the only place in the Northwest to do so.

If you feel like having an afternoon of old fashioned aeromodelling fun, then make us part of  regular flying activities.

Newcomers welcome, with lots of friendly advice.

This season’s dates are the first Sundays of the month:

4th September, 2nd October, 6th November and 4th December.

2023 dates 8th January, 5th February, 5th March, 2nd April and 7th May.

All events are from 11am to 4 pm, with competitions ending 2:30pm.

There are no flying slots, flying at any time but being respectful of others flights.

Sadly we can’t accommodate larger RC planes (Like shock fliers) and helicopters.

Cost currently £15 per session.
