We agreed to host the event again in 2009. All who were at the AGM had helped at this year’s Bring and Fly. |

Mike Downes organising the catering, raffle and tom-bola raises ¾ of the income. |
|
The reasons for the event are to raise money for the Club and for our enjoyment. |

As the Glyn y Weddw was cramped and the food not as good as previously a bigger venue and entertainment will be arranged for the Saturday evening. |

Vehicle access needs sorting out for next year to prevent cars in the adjacent field crossing the flight line. |

Chairman’s Report – Steve Dorling |
|
|
|
2008 has been, for the main part, a fairly low key affair for the club with only sporadic activity amongst the membership, save for the usual few who do make good use of the facilities, but given our geographical location and the age and spread of the membership, this seems unlikely to change. |

Bring and Fly |
|
|
|
This years Bring and Fly was particularly good, so once again, thanks to the usual small select bunch of helpers who make this happen – we were blessed with great weather, which given this years appalling summer, was a stroke of luck indeed. The Bring and Fly keeps the club financially viable and without it we would have to raise the subscription fee by a fair margin, which brings me neatly round to my next point. |
|
|
|
Those members who are inactive or for reasons various, always find something better or more important to do when it comes to the Bring and Fly, which when all’s said and done, is but three days out of three hundred and sixty five – should be made fully aware that their membership is effectively subsidised by those who do put the event together and this perennial topic gets raised every year, I think we should seriously consider whether we need members who aren’t interested in running the club – |
