I just found out our garage fills with a few inches of water in heavy rain, if you guys copped what we just copped, Lake McCoy will be overflowing. SMFC wont be flooded, but continuing rain for the ne...

I am here at the field. Where is everybody!!!!

Hi guys, some good news for a change. Low chance of rain tomorrow, gentle winds & freshly mowed strip. I may be a little later than normal but sometime between 8.30 & 9.00.

Looking at my rain gauge from a distance (no point in getting wet from the rain) and I see at least 20mm of rainfall with more to come. Tomorrow's forecast is for more showers so I am giving tomorrow ...

Dropped in at the field about 2ish & the news is not good. I had intended mowing this afternoon (even after 10 stitches below my left knee & associated pain) but the field is soggy with surface wate...

Sorry guys, preparing our house for sale is my priority today so I won't be flying. The weather looks good for flying though, clear skies & light winds present themselves to add to enjoyment this morn...

Just had a look at the forecast for tomorrow & is not looking good rainwise. I will reserve decision for flying in the morning.

Sorry guys, golfing tomorrow. If you are opening tomorrow, please post your intentions.

Took a trip to the field this afternoon and it is drier than expected. The usual pooled areas but enough room to take off & land. The grass needs a mow but larger wheels will assist in operation. I i...

Looking rather miserable outside (showers & windy) so giving today a miss.

Sorry guys, forgot to post last night. I will accept a suitable reprimand at the field this morning. But please be careful the reprimand may bounce with vigour (Never call the pot black). I will be t...

My memory strikes again, I said I would be flying again tomorrow but my other memory (Margaret) reminded me of golf tomorrow. See you guys next week. Was nice to meet you Luke and I trust you felt wel...

Sorry for late notice guys, been to the Aeromodellers meeting. I will be opening 8.30ish as usual.

Only myself, Chris McCarthy & a couple of newbies turned up today before I left 11ish, one of the poorest fine weather turnouts I can remember. I have a tradie at my place tomorrow so no flying for m...

Copy/paste laziness. Hi guys, I will be at the field 8.30ish tomorrow to set up. I will only be there for a couple of hours, so anybody who needs my assistance tomorrow, please also be there early as...

My rain gauge looks empty so I won't take an early visit to the field. Clouds clearing & rain radar shows coastal rain. See you guys at the field 8.30ish

Field has dried out a bit since Kieran posted. If we get no overnight rain I will be opening 8.30ish. If we get rain overnight I will do an early visit & post flying situation. Watch this space in the...

The skies are blue & my weather gauge tree is motionless. Heading to the field after brekkie for a few flights. Rain radar shows rain coming from the north, so I imagine it will be a short flying day....

Took a trip to the field without any planes to see a couple of newbies waiting at the gate. Walking in & in-between sprinkles of rain they took an EPP profile Extra & a Bixler into the air. The runway...

Is currently spitting rain & as per my rain gauge we have had 10mm rain overnight. Rain radar shows more to come & consistent with forecast. Oh well, batteries onto storage charge for me.

Showers are forecasted for tomorrow. I am charging my batteries tonight in the hope that Willy has got it wrong again. At this stage I should be at the field by 8.30 as usual but is weaqther dependant...

I will see the early birds at 8.30 tomorrow. Looks like another cracker of a day for flying.

60% chance of 1-5mm showers tomorrow morning with very light winds. Probably still ok to fly but my boys are shouting me to golf in the morning, so I will leave it up to others to open up in the morni...

Had a look at the field this afternoon & is looking good for a fly tomorrow pending any overnight rain of which there is a low percentage chance. Even though TV weather report stated 20mm rain fell, o...

A bit windier tomorrow but still gentle & under 15km & no rain. I will open about 8.30ish unless beaten to it by our early birds.

After Monday's deluge of 38mm rain in my gauge I had expected the worst at our field. Jason & I attended the field today & he again has had to repair the front gate. Whilst there we inspected the fiel...

Have been to the field for a looksee & have completed the previously mentioned tasks. No pooling of the strip at this stage but my walk in was under an umbrella. Our normal parking area had some pooli...

Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn & Willyweather's rain radar. I will be heading down to the field early to turn our sign precluding vehicle access & also add a sign to the front gate notifying o...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news again but the flying news is not good. Tomorrow there is no rain forecast until late afternoon/evening however 20-30kph winds forecast from mid morning. Sunday howe...

I hope to be at the field tomorrow but will be a little later than normal. I have had sore throat since yesterday arvo so will avoid the cooler part of the day if I turn up at all. Light winds forecas...

Todays forecast is for early light winds then increasing from 18kph at 11am to 28kph at midday then 37kph by 2.00pm. My golf day has been cancelled so I will be at he field by 8.30 to enjoy the earl...

The thanks should go to our illustrious Secretary Kevin B and his negotiations with PCC. A special thanks also to PCC for so readily agreeing to the task & fulfilling their promise so promptly.

Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaa, took a look at the field this afternoon and the news is both excellent & reasonable. I am guessing PCC have contributed to the maintenance of our entry access by grading/levelling/ro...

Many thanks to Andy Baker for donating & installing this sign, much appreciated. During wet periods, this sign will be used when walk-in only is applicable and should negate the "did not read the for...

As per field condition post, this weekend will be restricted to walk in only. Unless posted otherwise, I will be at the field 8.30ish to hand out MAAA membership cards.

Thanx Smuzz, but I don't see it as any big deal. I am an early riser, didn't need an alarm to get there that early & see my efforts as a service to those who may travel some distance needlessly.

Definitely walk in only this weekend guys (no exceptions). Surface water on all of the field. Is only 4 deg at the moment & not going to get much warmer. I am going home to stay warm. All you diehards...

From my vantage point in Wentie, fog has cleared, clear skies & weather tree stationary. Packing car now to head down to the field.

A bit foggy & 5 deg at moment at the field. Yesterdays rain has pooled the far side of the strip & narrowed it opposite pilot box. Driving in should be ok but again avoiding the edge beside trees. I w...

Has been showering for a few hours on an already saturated field. I will take an early morning trip to the field for a condition report. Watch this space a bit after 7am.

Given the icy mornings, I wont be opening & setting up until 8.30ish tomorrow (unless somebody beats me to it). Again please be mindful of the soft soil beside the trees on your right when driving in....

Dropped in at the field late this morning for a look-see & condition report. Driveway in at the bottom is plenty wet but should tolerate driving in this weekend. Once past the bottom of the hill pleas...

No problems Chris am more than happy to provide this service. I will be in Darwin next weekend and hope someone else does the honours of a filed condition report & perhaps save the long distance trave...

Was at the field late this morning & Andy was there with his son and flew a skipper & a flying wing. Both without wheels & handled the sloppy field. There was surface water on 100% of the field and is...

Looks like the return of Craig might have to be delayed. Took a trip to the field about 12.30 today & could not walk down to the field to see how firm the strip & spectator areas were because I forgot...

Short of further disruptive medical episodes, I will be at the field as usual.

Feeling a bit fatigued tonight, will see how I feel in the morning as to whether I will go to the field or not. Will leave it up to other members to open up & set the field up for flying. I may turn u...
