    Nope, but if you find one let us know!  Some of us are looking
    for a local field we can use during hunting season (CMRCM field
    closed except on sundays).

    for waht is worth, there is the Northbridge landfill (on Quaker
    st, in Northbridge). Its a qualified AMA field. Its about 30 mins
    south of CMRCM field. The club there is the Quaker RC fliers.

    I know of a flying field in Shrewsbury behind the Scandinavian Athletic
    Club, but I don't know what club flies there, and I think the land
    is owned by SAC. They have a very nice runway cross which seems
    to be mowed regularly. To get there, you take Rt. 20 west from Rt.9.
    After about 4 miles, you pass under Rt 140 (I think) by the UPS
    distribution center. You go through the first set of lights, then turn
    right at the next set of lights, immediately after a drive-in. About
    1/4 mile down the road, turn right again and follow the signs to
    SAC. The flying field is behind the rear parking lot.

     Pertaining to note .3 that field is privately owend.There is no
    club that flyes there it's just a bunch of guys who have permission
    to be there.I happen to be one of those guy's.It's not up to me
    to give permission.Thier is how ever a strip of land on the left
    just as you go by route 9 on lake street.I know people fly there
    with no problems.Please do not show up at SAC's to fly because the
    owner get's upset if there are too manny people there.And we might
    loose permission to be there.
    
    
                                                 THANK YOU
                                                KEEP'EM FLYING

     In addition to note .4 I just got done talking to the owner and
    he DOES NOT want anybody else flying there.If anyone is caught
    flying there you will be taken off the property by the police.
    I don't want to sound like an A#&H^L@ but I don't own the land.
    Sorry people.
