“Barnet Model Helicopter Club was formed on the 15th of September 2006. We fly at the Old Elizabethans’ Playing Fields which is in May Lane, Barnet, London, England.

The primary purpose of this field is cricket and football. However the field is available for flying when no sporting activities or maintenance work are in progress, which is the majority of the time except weekends. Hence our club is particularly suitable for those who have free time during the week.

The field has a gate that is always kept locked. All members have a key, and are asked to lock the gate every time it’s used.

Currently we have space for a few more members. If you fly model helicopters and are interested, please check the club rules on the website and e-mail Malcolm Messiter.
