Thank you to all who came and supported the club’s AGM meeting last month. It was good to see a nice cross-section of the club membership in attendance to make their views known. We also had three ex-Chairmen in attendance keeping a fatherly eye on the current committee members. Whilst on that subject it was nice to see that Bill Shewan is looking considerably more mobile following an operation on his leg earlier this year. Ron Cottrell was another who is looking much more sprightly these days and offering his services at club events this year. Full details of the report that I presented at the AGM can be found elsewhere in this edition of Acorn.
At the time of writing entries for our sprint at North Weald on 22nd June are looking rather thin. So if you haven’t already entered, then please get in touch with Tina Moon immediately. For those of you not competing, then please volunteer your services to Chin to help with marshalling on the day.
Our Social Evening this month moves to Charing Gliding Club where a number of our intrepid members will be venturing (weather permitting) into the Kent skies in gliders. If you haven’t already expressed interest in this wonderful opportunity to soar above the Kent countryside, then please contact me straight away and I will endeavour to get a glider flight for you (N.B. An experienced Pilot/Instructor is included with every flight).
