Sports / So, I joined yet another club! RWMAC

« Last post by Fred on February 06, 2025, 00:34:00 AM »

We’ll, when you love, you don’t count I guess

I have been invited a few times by Tony Green (thank you! ) to come and visit the club, located near Roundwood in Co. Wicklow.
I finally managed to get my arse in gear, and paid the club a visit a few months ago, and I was not disappointed!

The welcoming was just superb, and the setup is fantastic! I had the trusty Lentus with me, and was allowed to use the field as a full member for the day, and well, I joined! they know how to talk to men

More seriously, the guys are great, the ambiance is fantastic as a result, and the field is big with plenty of space for the big stuff.

Anyway, more later, but for now, enjoy a couple of photos

Alright so, I was quiet, but flying wise, I managed a few days with the guys last year, along a scale meeting organisés by the club.
More on that I guess as I was told last weekend they will organise another scale event in around August, and of course, gliders welcome

First of the year was a very friendly competition (it’s a big word! Was really an excuse to get out flying with like minded people! More fun than competition) and to my surprise finished 3rd on the day. Brilliant to see the first 2 were 2 young lads! Good to see the new generation of RC pilots really invested in the hobby!

All in all, good start of the year at the SRFC, so here are a few photos of last year and this year. Might put more if there is some interest
