Flying is not permitted while the field is being mowed. It’s preferable, weather permitting, to mow on Thursday or Friday so that the field is in good shape for the weekend and so that mowing doesn’t interfere excessively with flying activities. You can trade mowing dates with other members as necessary but try to let your mowing partner and the club officers know ahead of time so that everyone knows what to expect and schedules can be adjusted. If you have trouble or concerns with the mowers contact the club officers.
