PMAC news. April, May, June
1. I am back and hoping to get some winter flying done. I did fly once in an open paddock at Trepina gorge and with Graham Cooke at the Alice Springs field. I also flew with him in the Pilates PC 21 from Alice to Tennant Creek and return.
2. There is a new windsock thanks to Greg donating an old sail from his boat and Joy for the sewing. I have attached the sock to the rim and replaced it at the field. Hopefully this material will last much longer.
3. There are ewes and lambs in the paddock so please be sure the gate is closed.
4. I have received the fee structure of 2016/17. The MAAA have removed the $500 excess on any first insurance claim to $0. I have always kept this amount aside just in case of a claim. The club has $500 in its kitty so now we have $1000.
The fees for the next 12 months are:
Seniors who fly at the Cooma field $120
Seniors who fly elsewhere $110
Juniors $40
Associate members $5
These amounts will cover the ANSW member fees plus affiliation fee of $25 plus field lease of $220 pa.
Could you please pay these fees before the end of June, preferably in cash or cheque made out to Rick Harris.
Maintenance costs can be taken out of our existing funds. This includes fuel and oil for the mower and blower, tea, coffee and sugar and any other costs that may arise.
5. We will have an AGM at the field on Sunday 19 th June to elect president and sec/treas. I am happy to continue and Dennis should be back by then.
6. This newsletter will appear on our club website so I think in future I will not send it to individual email addresses. But I will print a copy for those members who don’t have an email account.
See you at the field
