Safety and Insurance
All club members are required to take out and maintain suitable third party insurance to cover against any claim that may be made against them in relation to model flying activities. (All flying club members are required to hold current S.A.A. insurance.) (Visiting flyers may hold either S.A.A or B.M.F.A Insurance.)
All members must abide by the club’s frequency control procedures at all times as a matter of priority. Any member who causes loss or damage to another member or visiting guest’s model by switching on a transmitter on the same frequency as one being used legitimately in accordance with the club’s frequency control arrangements, will have an obligation to either repair the damage caused or contribute reasonably to the model’s replacement.
Where no agreement can be reached between parties, the Safety Officer will conduct an investigation and bring any findings to a club meeting. A club decision will be made on an appropriate course of action if necessary. Where it is judged necessary by the club, a member may be excluded from the club. No fees will be returnable
