Not sure about Bedfordshire Paul, but Milton Keynes has a very active heli
fraternity. Check out the BMFA (www.bmfa.org) if MK is too far out. (man:)

This is a pretty wide spread hobby, populated in the most part by older
guys, so you may have to re-think your target groups age. Guys your age are
usually out pulling tarts, not playing with toy planes and choppers, but
eventually, you grow out of that and start enjoying yourself:-)

Cheers Beav ,

Of Cause  during the evenings the best time to be out pulling tarts ;op
as of yet nobody has introduced me to nite flying !

So having time on my hands (normally holding my watch not timepiece!) during
the daytime, I'd like to meet fellow minded flyers. Already a member of the
BMFA , but like to get to know someone local 1st to introduce me into a
club.
So anyone's welcome age group or not  :o)

Paul

That's never been easy. Most normal people are nine to fiver's and only get
out flying at weekends. It may be worth trying posting something in the
personal ads of your local newspaper about meeting with other modelers in
normal working hours.
