Welcome to Bromley Soaring Club's Website
Bromley Soaring Club was South East London's and West Kent's
premier club for soaring and silent flight. It was formed by Avicraft
around 1980
to promote
the building and flying of model aircraft, with the original emphasis
on gliding. Members of the club now fly a variety of models, thermal,
electric and slope soarers, park fly and indoor models. There is also a
strong interest in competitive thermal soaring.
The club has
now effectively merged with the Bickley Model Flying Club
(BMFC) and is esentially a club within a club. You can still
become a member of Bromley Soaring Club but this does not provide the
right to use Bickley's flying site. To be able to used this site
(except as an occasional guest) you need to become a member of BMFC. As
a member of BMFC you automatically become a member of Bromley Soaring
Club (BSC). Members of BMFC who paricipate in thermal soaring
competitions do so under the banner of "Bromley Soaring Club".
During the summer
months BSC organise ad-hoc flying sessions at a park in Bromley and/or at Bickley's site near Dartford. During the winter months flying sessions
are arranged when
the weather is suitable. Prospective new members are welcome to
join us at any of these meetings.
The club welcomes new members of all ages, with help and
advice on
building and flying available for beginners.
