Title: Rules on Foreigners at Victoria Memorial field Post by: teamnamibia on June 23, 2014, 10:22:13 AM Hi guys, :hatsoff:
I remember when i first got into this artform 2 years ago, Mr Kumar of Indian Hobby centre (really cool guy), took me to the Field in Kolkata behind Victoria memorial. it was fun and i was awed, but then i was told that apparently Foreigners are not allowed to be members of the Flying club, can anybody verify this claims for me? And by the way, i am a Harmless student. ;D Regards Mike Title: Re: Rules on Foreigners at Victoria Memorial field Post by: yashodhanp on June 23, 2014, 11:45:09 AM Yes. That is true. Foreigners cannot become members of the club. I.e. Aero Sports Association of Bengal. That field (RCTC) is a military field.
Mr. Kumar himself is not a member of the club, due to many many reasons. Regards Title: Re: Rules on Foreigners at Victoria Memorial field Post by: teamnamibia on June 23, 2014, 03:26:02 PM Well uhm,
where in Kolkata can i then join the community? as that is the only field i know off. Title: Re: Rules on Foreigners at Victoria Memorial field Post by: yashodhanp on June 23, 2014, 03:35:27 PM We only fly at RCTC.. Rajarhat is another place where you can go, however there is no authotization for rajarhat, and its at your own risk. You can contact Kalyan Prodhan (forum member) he flies at BESU.

It would be the closest place to interact with a group of flyers. I am a Government of India scholarship holder so doubt i can be of much harm.
