Members,
Well the weather turned against us yesterday and combined with Mothers day our turnout was five in the afternoon shift that I know of. On to a brighter note, organisation of the flyin is well underway, we now have three definite starters for the displays on Sunday 12/6/11 they are Ultra Lights, Red Barron and Sky Divers, I am having difficulty getting hold of Tvlle. Helicopters, they have not answered any calls or e mails yet,but I will keep calling them right up until the last minute.
Went to the field on Saturday morning and mowed the heli ring completely. Our mower needs new blades and belts which Dirk will buy today, we will probably fit them tomorrow. Darryl Dunn bought his bob catcat out ot spread the top dressing but had to stop after the machine blew a seal on a ram, now that there has been a bit of rain I guess that it will curtail our plans in that direction for a week.
Now that most long grass has been cut there is lots of grass that needs to be raked up and moved, so I suggest that we have working bee next Saturday morning, bring along lawn rakes mainly and get the place looking in good condition.
A big thanks to Ray and Geoff for installing pit lighting it will make them much safer of a night, also they will make conditions much better for after dark usage. At our meeting last week Richard Oudin, our coordinator for night flying indicated that we start night flies again now that the weather looks more predictable. I think Richard is looking at the first Saturday Night in June, he will confirm this wiyh us this week.
Well the end of another financial year is almost upon us, that only means one thing, memberships will need to be paid before the end of June, don't be surprised to see and hear the Treasurer and Registrar reminding you . As soon as possible after the 30/6/11 we will have the books audited, then the AGM will be held once the audit is complete.
