Whitesheet RFC continues it's long tradition of co-operation with the National Trust.
The entrance to Morgan's has always presented a challenge to flyers carrying models to the NW slope. Through the efforts of Den Larking an agreement was made with the NT to replace the stile with a kissing gate funded by Whitesheet RFC. We are resisting the temptation to let this gate be known as the "Den Larking Kissing Gate"!

Slope Access Management
The following measures have been implemented to ensure only Whitesheet RFC members and their guests use the slopes for model soaring.
- A notebook has been placed in the hut at the Red Lion with kind permission of the landlord. Please could everyone make the effort to note in it each time you fly, and encourage others to do so.
- To make it easier to identify our club members on the slopes, we will be issuing membership cards, which will be sent out by Den Larking in the next 6-8 weeks.
How to renew your club and BMFA membership.
As you should be aware, all modelers flying at White Sheet must have adequate insurance.
This is a stipulation of our licence with the National Trust.
This requirement is fulfilled for White Sheet RFC Members via individual membership of the BMFA.
