May 10-12 2025 May Welsh - Bethesda and Bangor
This is a new event that I am organising to promote free flight in North Wales, especially scale free flight.
With the loss of Old Warden, my aim is to give people another opportunity to meet and fly, we are lucky to have access to a number of spacious areas. There are also slope-soaring hills and a sizeable indoor hall. Why not bring the family and make a holiday of it in North Wales?
I would really appreciate having an idea of numbers, so please pre-register with Martin on members@sam1066.org

If you do wish to come and need a place to stay there are many options in the area. I have been looking at accommodation Snowdonia Mountain Lodge is good and conveniently located. Pant Teg, Tregarth, is also close. There is a Premier inn on the outskirts of Bangor. I'm not an accommodation agent, but if you need help finding a place, contact me on members@sam1066.org
The competition rules can be found in the 2025 BMFA rulebook, FF3 Outdoor Rubber Precision on page 95, Peanut scale p 109, Pistachio scale p112, Indoor Open (flying only) p 115.
May 10-12 2025 Outdoor site - Bethesda
A wonderful site to fly from 1.5x1.5km without trees. Location link . It is however an upland bog, hard work to walk over. I wear wellies for retrieval even in summer. Models can be difficult to spot in the tall grass - keep an eye on where they land! Outdoor Gallery Here
