Nope. We have a good working relationship with LAA so it shouldn't be dismissed. That said, we should be our own club with stuff that we organise for the benefit of our members. Other flying...

I can't disagree with much of this. I believe it comes down to market size;...

I met a Polish microlighter over the weekend. He's flown in the UK before, including at the world championships in 2016 at Popham. He also happens to be the Polish equivalent of BMAA chairman!

I didn't know about it either and I had to ask. It concerns examiners, instructors and those taking exams, who have been fully informed. Probably 'Henry King' heard it from an instructor since it's...

Henry King is not Henry King and has been banned.

The 'malicious rumour' is true. During an update process a couple of errors in one paper weren't spotted. The correct remedial action has been...

Your wisdom is my command :)

Thanks. I don't know so will look into it.

It was spam. Gone now.

Err... it was me and I contracted a BMAA member to do the transfer work. We all paid the bill. I'm currently doing the admin but will be calling for help once I feel I can train someone!!

Dear all,

I have very sad news to report. The BMAA CEO Geoff Weighell's wife Pat passed away unexpectedly two weeks ago.

The funeral service will take place on Tuesday 31 October in Banbury....

This forum uses a different platform to the previous one. It's a learning curve for us all - both you and also the admin team.

Welcome to the BMAA Forum.

Contrary to many rumours, this forum was never deleted. It broke and it's taken a long time to get it back again but here we are. Complete with all the old posts and...

He's being modest; while I have chased Geoff to take action, it's not been necessary at all. Geoff instigated the initial request for information, then he organised a meeting with the CAA medical...

We've succeeded (a bit) in getting microlighting into the media as a result of the world championships:

I didn't realise the scale. Can you point to the data source, please? We'll need to look at this seriously once we've analysed the statistics.
