“The Rotax Discover North Burnett Rally” and Monto Forums


Admin

Recommended Posts

During the weekend of the Queen’s Birthday Monto Fly-In, Recreational Aviation Australia will be holding the “Rotax Discover North Burnett Rally” on Saturday the 12th of June. This event being a poker rally, will involve flying to five airfields in North Burnett Regional Council’s area and picking up a playing card at each location, with a prize going to the winning hand. The airfields are Biggenden, Gayndah, Mundubbera, Eidsvold and ending up at Monto, with local community service clubs and organisations dealing out the cards at each location. Tea, coffee and soft drinks will also be available along the way from Lions Clubs and the SES.

 

The monthly Biggenden Markets are on this day and also the Gayndah Jockey Club, which operates from the oldest course still in use in Queensland, will be running their main annual event. For those interested in dropping in at a country race meeting on the way to Monto, the Jockey Club have kindly offered to provide a free pick up and return service from the airport to the meet. The dress standards are relaxed and for contact details and further information visit Queensland Racing - Race Clubs - Gayndah Jockey Club .

 

If you’d like to take advantage of this service please contact Peter Strohfeldt (details on the website) sooner rather than later, as this will assist the Jockey Club with organising this service. By the way, if you are going to have a flutter don’t forget about last light.

 

Forums at Monto will be held on the Sunday, with some of the subjects including Human Factors From A Medical Perspective – Dr Petar Novakovic, Operations At Non-Towered Aerodromes – CASA AvSafety, Operations – Lee Ungermann, Flight Instruction – Steve Tizzard, and Insurance Matters - Peter Bugg.

 

Further details regarding the poker rally and forums will be posted on the RAAus web site as they come to hand.
