Members of this club fly at Sholavaram,
The Story is like this :
Sholavaram is an airstrip that belongs to the airforce  who can  give permission only to a registered body  to use it and not to individuals , hence  the club was created to obtain this permission and all those who fly there had to be members .

Right now the airfield itself is under threat as the land around belongs to some NETA type politician who has plotted it out and sold it , so houses are coming up there .

Yes but all RC Modelers who fly at this field are its members  so there is regular flying activity under the name of this club.
