Bay City Flyers

Bay City Flyers prides itself on several things, but first and foremost is our dedication to possessing a warm, open, and friendly culture that welcomes one and all to join us in having a wonderful time flying model aircraft. We think we have a wonderful group of members, and even though we sometimes work hard at our hobby, we also strive to have fun and build relationships. Our flying sites are superb, especially our newest flying site that we affectionately call "Area 52".

We have programs aimed at introducing this fine hobby to young people, by giving demonstrations at various schools, as well as special "instruction days" at the flying field.

We have Club Meetings every month; all of the details about the date, time, and location can be found on our MONTHLY MEETING page.

Each year, Bay City Flyers hosts special events, including our Annual Christmas Party (we bring our family members also), an Annual Swap Meet, and several excellent competitive and non-competitive flying events. You can find the dates for these events on the UPCOMING EVENTS page on this web site.

Bay City Flyer Ladies prepared delicious food for this Christmas Picnic.

The Christmas Picnic Buffet is ready.

Revised Message to all Bay City Flyers

The Connors Preserve is now officially open to Hikers and Bikers. We have experienced failure by both groups to properly close the Main Entry Gate. Effective immediately, the combination lock must be locked in place securing the heavy chain when you are coming and going. Virtually this means you will be at the field and the main gate will be secured with the combination lock. This method will prevent the Hikers and Bikers from driving into the Preserve and ensure that they park in the designated area outside the main gate.

The following has been added to the original e-mail:

When entering the Preserve grounds, relock the gate as mentioned above and check all locks to confirm they are properly installed and locked preventing the gate from being opened. In order to enter, the horse people will have the combination to the SWFWMD lock. However, it is the responsibility of all BCF members to make certain that all locks are locked when entering or leaving the field preventing the gate from being opened.

Do not at anytime allow anyone to follow you in, other than BCF Members. Immediately lock the gate as you enter. Horse people with the proper permits from SWFWMD will have the SFWMD lock combination to open the proper lock. All hikers and bikers must park outside the main gate and enter through the walk through opening.

Mike Diesu, Sec.
