Twisted Sticks February 21st 2008
Old Business: Tom – About the guest policy that John sent out I have one question. Under new flyers it could be forever there is no time policy. Dale – We haven’t had a problem. Tom – I would like to propose that we set a time limit of 30 days. VISITING FLYERS AND INVITEES – FEES AND RESTRICTION OF FIELD USE
All visitors or guests must have a current AMA card. Maximum flying privileges are 10 days per year.
Twisted Sticks will post at the field 3 access telephone numbers, and information to contact the club via E-mail or through the AMA register.
1. Registered park guests with AMA membership - fees are waived.
2. For all others a current AMA card is required. A donation to the club for field maintenance is welcome.
3. If a visitor or guest fly more than 10 days per year and is not a guest of the park we invite you to join Twisted Sticks R. C.
TRAINEES – FEES AND RESTRICTION OF FIELD USE
All trainees must have a current AMA card.
Any trainee is required to become a club member of Twisted Sticks R. C. to continue flying after the training period has been completed or 30 days has elapsed.
Reference section (1) trainees, potential new members must attend a club meeting to be made aware of AMA and club rules pertaining to safety and use of the field.
New Business: Tom – Will anyone second the motion that the new bylaws be adopted? The motion was seconded and unanimously passed by those present. Al – Regarding roofing over the visitors picnic tables. I would like to ask John McCumber’s opinion. Barry – I’d just do it. John – It wouldn’t hurt to ask. Tom – We’re talking about a 16 foot long table like the one build for the club table. Tom – I’ve talked to Ken McFarland and most likely Ken will not be joining us this year. I did express to Ken that we would miss his expertise at the field and hoped he would feel free to show up at any time he felt up to it. Tom – I did some more research into the AMA rule on the one flight allowed on a members buddy box to a visitor. It is for one flight only, using the AMA flyers equipment and insurance does not cover the visitor flying. The only way to have more visitor flights is to become a member of the AMA Pilot program. It is a fairly complicated program for a small club. Barry – It would be nice if some other people could come forward to help train new pilots. Dale – Jim jumped in last year and helped train. Al – He helped me a lot. Russ - Having different people train helps the trainee too. Next meeting 7 PM March 12th, the meeting will be at Dale Kelly's house. If anything changes Tom will announce it.
