Welcome to the website of Epsom Downs Model Aircraft Club.
While people have been flying model aircraft on Epsom Downs for many decades, the club has only been in existence for a few years. You can read the background to the formation of the club here.
Since the start of 2006 the Epsom Downs Conservators have required that anyone flying a model on Epsom Downs must be a member of this club. This requirement embraces all disciplines of radio control and free flight. Our membership application form can be downloaded from the Membership page.
This website will continue to be updated from time to time with news and information for current and prospective members. |

It was disappointing that at the 2009 AGM there were insufficient members attending to comply with the Club's Constitutional requirement for a voting quorum, which is 20% of the voting eligible membership. The club currently has 279 Senior Members so we required an attendance of at least 56 members. The number that attended was 38, added to which were 8 proxy votes giving a voting capability of 46, 10 votes below the required quorum
