WMAC Handbook The Wimborne M.A.C. was first formed in April 1973 by Reg and Pauline Hutchinson, the proprietors of the local model shop - The Hobby Horse - and John Henney. All those who had shown an interest in the idea were notified of a meeting which took place in the George Hotel, Wimborne, with some fifty people attending. A committee was elected, subs were set (25p) and a flying site was found. Unfortunately this site was lost after only a few months. The club has grown over the past 25 or so years with membership of between 100 and 150.

We fly from a large grass field off the A354 between Salisbury and Blandford Forum. Scale and National Aerobatics competitions have been held at this site in the past.

Club meetings are also held at 8pm on the second Friday of every month between September and May at Holt Parish Hall and at Cashmoor in June, July and August. Full site location details, Club constitution and rules are provided in the Members Manual, which is issued to all new members.

Details of Club Officers can be found here.  WMAC Committee.
