ALL bookings are to go through the instructors or Raylene. Please only enter when getting the keys for the aircraft and filling in the intention log. 4 PRESIDENT’S REPORT As I write it is the first day of spring. A perfect day too but I think there is more wet to come and the mud patches on the airfield will probably remain. Please do your best to avoid them. Your committee last met on 20th August, it is almost always the 3rd Monday of the month. This coincides with bill paying time (20th) so there is the opportunity to discuss any oddities there prior to payment. The meetings usually last about 2 hours, but as long as it takes to get thru all the business and ensure there is good discussion before decisions are made. The minutes are on the notice board if you are interested, or better still talk to a committee member. Some outstanding items are; We want to get an Administration Manual written so that if and when there is a change of governance or staff then the main procedures will be clearly written down and business can continue as normal. We do hope to get this done soon but having said that, it is a big job so will take time. We have purchased a “new” computer for the flight planning area. It goes a lot quicker than the old one did and just click on the icon for the service you require. We would ask that you do limit the use of this item to aviation requirements. The old water tank on the corner of the hanger is up for grabs. Some one out there must have a need for it so let us know. It is no longer needed as top dressers no longer use it and the reservoir over the road is more that adequate for fire fighting . Regular checks are made to ensure this is the case. Some new Private Property signs will appear around the airfield at strategic places. These are required by current laws to ensure we are not liable should someone enter the airfield and get injured. Standard policy for any business. A new photo copier will/ has appeared in the office. It does more and is cheaper! There is technology for you. We lease this item so have no problems with servicing. 5 Presidents Report Continued…. We are currently arranging for signage to go on to the club car. This will be advertising the club, web site etc so that when we are around town on business or a visitor has “borrowed” it we get free advertising around town. That can only be good. We have had 2 visits to the bar recently by officials. Routine checks to ensure we are following the rules like signing guests in, having licenced bar managers, providing food and non alcoholic drinks etc. They have been impressed thanks to John’s diligence and it is important to sign any non members in. We have just renewed our bar licence, no changes there. We will continue to apply for special licences for special occasions as this allows anyone to partake and no sign in required. With Bianca departed the instructing staff will remain at Sharn and Vince with part time instructors if required. Of course we will monitor our requirement at all times. Nigel Sheppard has vacated the far corner of the hanger and we are pursuing another tenant for that area. An aviation connection is expected. Finally, as of yesterday Ben Morris gained a ‘C’ Cat Instructor Rating. Many congratulations. Safe Flying Alistair The fabulous new book shelves that Chris Lloyd built in the Flight Office. 6 Presidents Report Continued…. CURRY, RICE AND CRAFT BEER SATURDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER A Casual get together for the above, family and friends included. The Curry will be mild and gluten free, chillies on the side for those who like it hot, plus other condiments. Meal served 7.00—7.30pm. Bar opens 5pm with normal service, a few extra craft beer for those who like to partake will be available. Advice to the office of your attendance does help with the catering. A wee donation on the night would help defray costs. Last minute attendance is perfectly acceptable. Looing forward to seeing you all. PPL Law Tuesday 25th September, and will run Tuesday and Thursday evenings 1830 - 2030 over 4 weeks at the aeroclub. Cost for the course is $210 per person. Please order your Law Waypoints book before 18 September in Flight Office Email or call Erin to confirm attendance. 021 285 1107 [email protected] 7 CFI REPORT It has been a busy time for the club over the last 4-6 weeks. We had Angela back from Hong Kong doing some more flying with us and using her PPL. Ben has sat and passed his C Cat. Bianca has officially left the club to pursue some multi IFR flying and Vince has been away on a ground course on the Jetstream (Vince is still staying on at the club – he took an opportunity that was offered to him to sit in on a ground course.) Ben conducting a basic stalls briefing The club is in good shape with a few students coming to the end of their training and some more flight tests will be happening in the next few months (fingers crossed the weather starts to become a bit more settled and we don’t get the typical spring winds). You will notice on occasion Erin or Ben doing some casual part time work to help us manage the workload on a as required basis. We have one more competition weekend to go and then we will be approaching the winners to select a Regional team for West Melton on the 26th/27th October. If we have can’t form a complete team from the winners, we will put out an email calling for expressions of interest to fill in the gaps. 8 CFI Report Continued…. There is a lot of enthusiasm around the club at the moment. I have heard of little groups going away on day trips together and coming back with great stories to tell. Also, you may notice two almost identical C-180’s on the airfield (only tell-tale is the different registrations). These have come from Frank Wright in Tauranga and are even based in the same hangar here! You always know a Frank Wright aircraft as the colour scheme never changes. On a personal note Brydie and myself are expecting our first child to be born around Valentines day 2019! We are really stoked. It will bring a big change to my current lifestyle. I have already been told no need for a new bike as I won’t have time next year to ride it. I have a solution for this problem……not sure how Brydie will take it when this arrives (see below). I wonder if Brydie will agree??? Sharn 9 FLYING HOURS 10 CLUB CAPTAINS NEWS Hi Everyone! July 14th saw the Takaka dawn fly in attended by MAC aircraft and members which Vince wrote about in the last newsletter followed by Club day on the 15th July with the months competitions being Pre-flight inspection and non instrument circuits! Aaron Patchett decided he would compete in the non instrument circuit competition in the Tiger Moth! How cool is that! Remember club day is open to anybody to come along and enjoy the day with, you don’t have to fly or compete! It’s about getting together and enjoying a fun day! A big thanks to Sharn also who organised and ran the day as I was off sick with flu.
