The Crawley Club was formed in 1960. Today we have about 100 members. All types of models are flown, radio control, free-flight, control-line and indoor.
Club meetings are held weekly on Thursday evenings during the summer on Holy Trinity School field and during the winter on Friday evenings at the Hazelwick School Sports Hall.
In the summer Club meetings are held every Thursday evening on Holy Trinity School field. Access to the school is via Buckswood Drive, turning into Woburn Road and then left through the school entrance and into the car park.
In the winter CADMAC enjoys use of the Hazelwick School sports hall for a friday evening of free-flight and RC flying. We have a full schedule of slots to accommodate all types of models in a safe fashion. See this youtube video taken on the first ever friday club-night on 21 November 2009.
The majority of members have been aeromodellers for many years, so the club has a vast store of knowledge. We welcome new members, who can be assured of friendly advice and assistance.

Club fees for 2012 are CADMAC £17, plus BMFA £31, giving a total of £48. For Juniors (under 18), CADMAC membership is free, with the BMFA fee set at £16.
