This year's Manx Model Meet will be over 3 days at Jurby Main Airfield. There will be scale and flying competitions at 12 noon on Saturday (starting with a static competition). There will be a BBQ at 6.00 pm on Saturday (bring your own food). Some members are going to try their hand at night flying, which should be entertaining. Overnight camping is available.
