Well, another Dusties AGM has past without anyone getting arrested. Happy to say the new president didn't throw up his dinner this time,due to the fact the next day would be the first flyable day in six weeks.
Meals were running late but that was okay as a lot of discussions were had by all.The best news had to be Antony and Andrew have almost finished there licience with only thier extended flights to do....after excelling in the art of "hang waiting"with Mr yappa himself ,to see the" thousand foot tow"look on their faces and hear the paddock plowing stories almost brought a tear to my eye.Also good to hear that Toby is booked and paid to go fly with God himself Rohan Holtcamp in october...bring it on
Ritcho kept us updated on the lake perkolilli application,and it looks good with just a rubber stamp from the town CEO ,but only after we the club, have had a good read of the agreement....well done guys ...I promise not to open anymore cans of worms.
More hard work by the man in regards to the comp,all seems to be going smoothly,Trevor suggested notifying some eastern staters to come over.that would boost the numbers.....let's also get all these novices there,it's the best flying experience/exposure they can get....
I think Kerryn and Rik spoke like pirates all night...arrr...meeybee it was the wine ....ye scurvy dogs
Another proud moment ,was bestode ?? on me was to present to Peter Cep ,with our first 'LIFE MEMBERSHIP'award(after he pays his fees)....Peter was there from the start ,helping to form this club with his computing abilities ,managing skills,drinking habits ,allowing us to practice complex medical procedures on him time and time again.To say he gave it all was an understatement....well done Pete
Awards was different this year with everyone receiving something from the lucky dip. up for grabs was things like a police alarm clock,wigs ,a mankini, beer mugs,barbie doles ,rubber bullets,facial implants,model gliders and other things that I cant recall.....shoulda seen the looks we got from other people in the resturant.........
It was a great night had by all and with the prospect of a fly the next day we called a close of the meeting...and passed out.......
Stay tuned for more Dusties antics
