Many of us meet for Free Flight Mondays at Buckminster. A season ticket for Buckminster is £80, or you can simply pay £10 for entrance payable on the day. There are toilets, washing facilities, tea making facilities, and the site is well maintained.  In March, April, May, June, and July, Peter Gibbons and Luke Goymour will run E20 competitions adopting the NFFS rules as outlined on the 'about' page, and a second event to the Peterborough Open Rules.  E30 and E36 may also be run as supporting events.* A small entry fee (£3) means we will have cash prizes for first place, as well as certificates for First, Second and Third.  Most importantly, there will be lots of free flight fun!  

So how about it? Why not build a model and come and compete in a friendly competition on a Monday at Buckminster?
