Dear Members,
Please be advised that effective from 5:00 pm today, due to the fire risk, all model turbine operations at P&DARCS are to cease until further notice.
This suspension will remain in place until the outer field surrounding the runways has been cut and baled. This section of the field falls under the lease arrangements with our tenant, who is responsible for carrying out this work. Unfortunately, unavoidable delays have been encountered due to the recent extreme weather conditions.
The Committee is actively working with the Darcsfield Co-Operative and the tenant to have the required cutting and baling completed as soon as conditions permit. Members will be notified promptly once the runway is again suitable for turbine operations and the restriction is lifted. Please note, this restriction is currently for turbine operations only, and other conventionally powered models may still be flown, notwithstanding any further notices from the CFA.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this important matter.
Kind Regards
Keith Quigg | AUS22897
P&DARCS President 2025/2026
