 You may have had a long journey to arrive here. Do not rush to rig and fly; make sure that you are rested, fresh and that when you rig your aircraft that positive control checks are made and that another competent pilot double-checks on your behalf.

 When towing gliders out of or back to this area please keep a good look out as the North Field can be very busy. Please remain close to the track and that way there is usually enough room for landings so all that is required is for the tow vehicle to stop as per normal while gliders are on approach.
-===== - Temporary Membership and Pre-flight Requirements =====
+===== 7.3 Temporary Membership and Pre-flight Requirements =====
 A Temporary Membership form must be completed before you fly. The form contains your membership number and this should be given to the log-keeper at the launch point prior to flying; **no details = no launch**. A Temporary Membership fee applies for non-reciprocal members. Accounts must be settled prior to departure; payment can be by Card or by Bank transfer.

 Aggressive flying styles are strongly discouraged. High energy low passes over the hills may contravene [[https://www.caa.co.uk/uploadedFiles/CAA/Content/Standard_Content/Commercial_industry/Airspace/Rules_of_the_air/Files/20171012SERAABC_ANO_PermissionsExemptions_ROTA2015Consolidation.pdf|SERA.3101 Negligent or Reckless Operation of Aircraft]]. Do not fly lower on the hill than the soaring conditions require. Never fly close to, towards or directly over any person on the ground. Lookout is always paramount.
