Dear all

Welcome to the new Macclesfield Flying Club website
macclesfieldflyingclub.moonfruit.com site is still live and working at present and will be closed down over the next few months

A big thanks to Brenda who has been maintaining the moonfruit site over the past racing seasons.
You will be able to interact on this website and put replys and comments to the post that I display.
This could be a simple 'well done' when I put the weekly results on from the races.
Posts will be moderated!

Anyway off to put the race program on here for 2010.
Best wishes to you all
Heather
