The Reasons the Association Exists

Following a great deal of discussion with a considerable number of model aviators across Kent & Sussex during the past two years it has left us with no misconception that some alternatives had to be considered to ensure a continuance of our unique hobby activities.  We collected a wide spectrum of opinion and in conclusion most opinion indicated there was an ever increasing erosion of our hobby environment.  Further investigation also indicated that regardless of the amount of effort put in the continued trend still remained in respect of the loss of flying sites and indeed it was noticed that general club based memberships in the area were and still are falling away at a dramatic rate.  We are certain that the action we have undertaken to initiate a new and united association is indeed in the best interest of all local modellers.

Ashford Frontier Radio Control Association has been established only by the wishes of local model enthusiasts who have a desire to continue their hobby with continuity, confidence and safety.  The Association will foremost undertake to conduct its business by providing a safe flying environment, to conduct hobby activities and maintain a site in the best interest of its contributing associates.

Unlike most clubs the organisation is structured a little differently in as much that it is a private enterprise managed and sponsored as a Mutual Association by the two founders who will also be the associations coordinators (acting under advisement).  The Association will operate under the title of 'The Ashford Frontier R/C Association' and all administration and maintenance processes will be conducted by 'Kalm Services (UK) Ltd'.
