Chairman’s Chatter Dear members, We are now approaching the fourteenth year since being formed. In the last year I have attended the Dortmund Intermodellbau, and at the BMFA AGM with Peter Turner, promoting our Association to flyers from all flying disciplines. This year I succeeded in getting Jean-Paul Schlösser (JePe) to come over to the Middle Wallop event for a second time. The sights and sounds of his models said SPEED, and in a big way! Jean-Paul said (by email) that Middle Wallop was the best event that Team JePe had ever flown at. Your committee is now getting ready for the round of Exhibitions that we display our wears at, and in the organising of our Fly-Ins that have been announced on the web site and in this issue of EF-UK. The web site is updated regularly include the most up to date news that we have on flying events throughout the year. For those that can’t remember the web site address it is www.befa.org.uk Some additional news about our Middle Wallop Fly-In is that we have been granted permission (by Lt. Col (Retd) RJ Thayer) for our weekend again this year. This is due to your Fly-In crew leaving the airfield as we found it (or better) and the way that David Beavor runs the flight line. We have also been informed that JePe is attending again this year, for the third consecutive year. If you want to see the phenomenal performance of his ducted fan and propeller powered models, you better come along to the Middle Wallop event this year. Remember: You will need an “A” CERTIFICATE to fly at a BEFA event this year. The “A” Certificate has to be in a related discipline, i.e. any class of Fixed Wing certificate for Fixed Wing models, and a helicopter certificate for helicopters. I would like to thank the committee on your behalf for the hard work they have done during the past twelve months. You are probably aware that 2004 is the year of the Electric World Championships to be held in the UK. The events will be held on the York Race Course over the period 9th to 15th August. More information on the World Championships can be found in this issue starting on pages 7 and 41. All the best for the 2004 flying season, KEEP THE WATTS UP and SAFE FLYING! Robert Mahoney AGM APOLOGY On behalf of the BEFA committee I would like to apologise to David and Will Beavor and Gordon Whitehead for not presenting their awards at the AGM. Your committee is updating their procedures to ensure it does not happen again. Robert Mahoney, Chairman on behalf of the BEFA Committee E.F.-U.K. 5
