Anyone live in Manchester for a possible meet up ?

Hi
Hope this is the right place to post this.
I have a home built hellcat that needs someone to look at it and tell me what I've done wrong!!

6.5hrs drive from me!
This is exactly the place to put it.
@CarolineTyler is not miles away, there may be others up your way too. What about the club you went to? Any other foam builders there?

Only problem with the club is its £100 a year and I've had my budget slashed,austerity measures

 

[FDS]

That is a lot. Would be too much for me as well. How the hell do they justify those fees?

Apparently a lot of it is insurance as the land is owned by Trafford council who insist on them having it

My club experience has been the same, sadly.
There's two clubs within an hours drive from my home and both haven't been exactly welcoming.

Trial day? No, you have to attend our next meeting and if you get approved make sure you have time to mow the field every 4 weeks, fees will be €200+ a year which includes insurance. have a nice day.

That said I already pay for my own insurance and it it's just above 50€ a year for liabilities up to 4 million. World wide coverage. Not accepted by the club, though.

Well, thanks, guys, but no thanks.

Haven't got any insurance but have found some playing fields far from roads/houses.
Fly in evenings/when no matches on .Only potential targets seem to be dog walkers and I wait till they've gone
If you're anywhere near Stretford its this

I wouldn’t worry about insurance. If you don’t fly near people you won’t need it! I fly on a playing field too.
