Be a champion - organise a club flying/social eventThe club has an event organiser for 2010, Dave Thomas. Dave will work with club members to promote flying events. Is there an event you are going to and would like to invite the rest of the club to join you, OR, would you like help to create your own event to invite the club along to. Speak to Dave if you would like to organise a club event, flying or at the clubhouse. What does championing an event involve? As the club member leading the event we want you to tell everyone about it by putting together some details of the event you are participating in or organising so that we can publish it in an upcoming newsletter, we can include it in the newsflash and put it on the club website. Club members interested in participating will contact you, so ensure your preferred means of contact are listed. After your event is over please send us a paragraph or two describing how your event went (and some photos would be great) for the next newsletter and club website. So club points can be given to participating members, we require you to provide us with a list of participants to your event. If you want to add more fun to your event rewarded by extra club points, eg. nav trial, inflight quiz, event trivia, etc…, you are most welcome (mention this in your event description). What is the benefit of championing an event? A lot of fun! A great way to meet members both in the air and on the ground. Yes, it can be a bit of work, but it is very rewarding. Need more incentive? amongst all the usual awards and prizes given out at the end of year awards ceremony / Christmas party, as incentive to champion one or more events for the club, there will be a special prize for a randomly drawn event organiser. The more events you are involved in, the greater your chance to win! |
An open invitation is extended to all club members for a long weekend flyaway to Middlebrook Station, which is located just a few miles north/east of Scone.
Middlebrook is a working sheep station that has an excellent 1000m grassed runway. It also has accommodation for 12 couples in 12 individual, shared-facility rooms. A comprehensive kitchen facility is provided to satisfy individual catering requirements.
This visit will coincide with the annual Scone Horse Festival Parade through the Scone township.

Yes! our Trivia night to be held on Saturday 26th May is only a couple of weeks away and "where are you all" so far our members of SAC are lagging behind the members of WRFS with bookings for this great night.
In the Newsletter I did ask for you to start getting your tables of 8 together - so far I have 3 tables of our members who have said yes they will be attending. We would like you to ring up or Email me or Dawn and Rouen with your commitment and money to attend on this night.
