Due to the Covid-19 situation we have cancelled the AGM
for this year. Hopefully by next December, we will have
an answer for Covid-19 (cross fingers).
Your committee are all happy to continue during 2021
unless anybody has any objections, or wants to volunteer
to take over one of the posts.
As usual we are still proposing to send the National
Trust a donation of £150, in line with last year, again
if anybody has any other proposals or objections, please
let us know.
Annual fees for 2021 will not change and will be as
follows, BMFA fees, which include 3rd party insurance:-
Senior £38, Junior £17, Family Partner £25, Family
Junior £13
SCSA fees are £8 for Seniors, free for Juniors
If you joined the CAA Registration through the BMFA that
will be £9.
If you joined the CAA Registration directly with CAA,
then you need to pay them separately.
We suggest that everybody rejoins the BMFA using their
on-line login at
https://bmfa.azolve.com and include the CAA
fee if appropriate.
We would like you all to pay the SCSA fee by Bank
transfer, if possible using SCSA bank account details
sort code Email Mike: membership@scsa.org.uk
for bank details, put your name as the
payment reference when paying the £8 SCSA fee.
Unless there are new Government guidelines about meeting
in groups there will be no Boxing Day pylon race this
year.
Hope to see some of you out on the slopes later this
week.
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New
Year.
Kind regards
Bryan Tucker (For SCSA Committee) |

With the Covid restrictions we have had no club events,
members are still flying, with a breeze blowing over us
slope flyers should be safe. We are using Facebook and

present there are no plans for an AGM in December |
