As from today the 9th of November the Lockdown across Wales has ended.
As a consequence, all our flying sites in Wales only, will be open for normal flying activities to those members who reside in Wales.
As England will still be in Lockdown, we advise members who reside in England to respect the guidelines and refrain from travelling across the border to fly, as this could be regarded as non-essential travel and the appropriate penalties could apply should you be stopped by the police.

Kind regards,

LMSC Committee.
