Blenheim Model Aero Club's flying site is located on the ARA vineyard on state highway 63 approximately 10 km  from the Renwick, West Coast road turn off. Club members meet at our flying site every Sunday morning. If you are interested in radio controlled flying, please feel free to visit our  flying field on a club day. Alternatively, if you are interested in joining our club, contact our club Secretary.
As well as our regular Sunday club days we also host an annual fly-in once a year, and several float fly's on one of the large lakes on ARA's vineyard.
Our club members have a wide range of interests in model radio controlled aircraft including scale, vintage, aerobatics, electric, gliding and jet turbines and are willing to share their knowledge with anyone else who has an interest.

After a week of rain, overcast days and high winds, we couldn’t have hoped for two better days. The weather was perfect, beautiful blue skies and not even the slightest breeze. This year the emphasis was on having fun, and I think everyone sure managed that. The weekend's event was attended by modellers from clubs around the top of the south down to Canterbury, with a wide range of model types from ARF's through to jet turbines. The weekend was also attended by large numbers of public who were treated to an awesome display of model aircraft flight.
