Halesowen Field.
A farmers cropping field off the Halesowen By-pass mown regularly in spring and summer with good access and close by parking. The road to the site is off the bypass into Uffmoor lane. On the left hand side is a turning leading to the farm house and horse stables. The entrance has a white gate that should be open. The last pilot to leave at the end of the day should make sure that the white gate is closed. NO admittance to the farm house under any circumstance.
Flying Times. Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. 10:00-21:00
Kingswinford Field.
Part of DK Rugby Club, we fly off a very well tended and drained strip off the edge of their rugby pitches. We also use the club bar as a meeting place every Thursday night. Cars should be parked in the normal car park and flying stuff carried to and from the strip. Sometimes car boots fairs and Rugby training sessions use the same area at weekends and during the week nights, so NO flying while these events are in progress.
Flying Times. Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun. 10:00-21:00
Claverley Field.
Part of the Claverley Cricket club pitch, we fly off the inner boundary but NOT off the wicket ( for take off or landing ). It is a well drained and maintained surface during the cricket season. During the off season, the grass is maintained by our club. Cars should be parked behind the club house and flying gear carried to and from the strip. Pit area may change according to wind direction. No flying if a cricket match is scheduled to play at home (planned or in progress!!).
(From Claverley village, just before the Plough pub on your left, turn right. Continue until you come to a cross roads and turn right. The cricket entrance is on your right.)
Flying Times. Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun. 10:00-21:00 ( Cricket matches take precedence).
