Had a great time at our Mid-Winter breakfast.

Despite the cold weather we had a number of hearty souls get together and had a very nice time at our annual mid-winter breakfast. This year we met at the Perkins Restaurant in Doylestown which provided us with somewhat more elbow room. While this wasn’t a formal meeting, DW1 provided a quick financial summary and introduced a special guest. Alec Pettifer AMA Assistant VP District III and President of the Chester County RC Club joined us and provided some interesting and useful information regarding his home club. Looking forward to Spring and having a fun flying season!

Meeting Schedule

2025 membership meetings will be held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month from April through December.  When possible we will meet at our flying field.  When not possible because of weather or early sunset we will meet either online using Zoom or at weRrc hobby shop.  The meeting location will be announced several days prior to each meeting.  Visitors are always welcome at our meetings.  Please contact us if you would like to be informed of our meeting location.  We do not hold regular meetings during the winter months.
