club hats are going well.
Field Safety Dave Woodward reported
that there are still some problems with spectators and children straying
near the planes. Please advise these people to stay behind the fences. New
signs have been erected to help with this. Also, once the engine is running
please carry or hang on to your plane until you are beyond the pit area and
ready for take off. Do not taxi in the pit or flight station
area!!
Field Manager Freq. issues. A new
pin board will be available soon to provide freq. control. Please remove
the appropriate channel pin and attach it to your antenna when flying.
Return it to the board when your flight is finished.
New Business A motion was made and
seconded to erect additional safety fences behind the flight line. After
discussion a vote was taken. The motion failed with 3 for and 12 against.
Also, regarding the use of channel pins for freq. control as opposed to just
using an AMA membership card or club membership card placed at the freq.
board under the appropriate channel number...it was decided by a vote of 13
to 5 in favor of using the individual pins designated with the channel
number. A motion was made and seconded to change porta-pottie companies to
reduce expenses. ( $11.00/month savings) Passed.
The status of the club's certificates of deposit (4) was
discussed. They are set up to mature and renew approximately every month
(at least one CD) so that funds would be available without penalty for
emergency purposes. It was decided to continue with this schedule.
