Club president Don Brown invited South Shore RC Club (SSRCC) members and friends to the club’s annual meeting at its flying site in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, to discuss club business, elect 2021 club officers, and do some fall fun-flying. It was a perfect opportunity for me to attend a nearby club event without violating COVID-19 travel restrictions.
SSRCC was founded more than 50 years ago and remains one of New England’s most popular clubs. Its flying site has an enormous, pristinely groomed, grass runway surrounded by an open space area capable of accommodating all types and sizes of model aircraft flying.
A large pit area with a shaded pavilion, benches, airplane stands, barbecue grills, and an oversize parking area with fenced, protected spectator locations allows the club to conduct multi-club and AMA member flying events each year. I have had many great times at the club’s Acale military/civilian, Giant Scale, aerobatic, Pylon, and open fun-fly events.
The current club officers have provided excellent leadership for more than a decade that fosters membership engagement and participation in club events and activities, as well as providing the best beginner-to-advanced pilot flight training. And, most important, they maintain the status of a friendly and welcoming club.
Thank you, SSRCC! I had another enjoyable day at the club’s annual event talking with members, and bringing them up-to-date on the AMA and FAA regulations while enjoying the variety of model aircraft that were flying and are in this column’s photos.
