Gympie Aero Club would like to extend an invitation to all aviators to participate in the following event ...........

 

A flying competition day and trash and treasure market, hosted by Gympie Aero Club on Sunday 16th May 2010 @ Gympie Aerodrome, SE Qld.

 

Details available at Gympie Aero Club: News

 

All aviators and members of the public welcome. BYO aircraft.

 

For a small donation convert your trash to someone else's treasure, or maybe find a treasure for yourself and also check out the static display of aeroplanes. Watch the flying competitions and/or compete yourself and/or represent your flying club as a group.

 

Competition commences at 9.30am with a pilots' briefing in front of the GAC hangar… flying scheduled to start at 10:00. Spot landings, flour bombing etc.

 

$15 entry fee per competitor – includes flour bombs and a couple of sausages from the BBQ for each entrant.

Here's a thought - Have breakfast at Childers hosted by the Isis Flying Club at 7:30 (see events calendar) then on to competition in Gympie.

Co-ordination needed

 

Sue, all the clubs in the area need to get together to co-ordinate days for Club events. The same day we see Maryborough hosting a luncheon fly-in and you at Childers also have a breakfast morning.

 

Can you get in touch with the Gympie Aero Club Secretary at [email protected] so we can all co-ordinate for next year - in fact for the rest of this year.

 

If we all support each others events it can only help promote recreational aviation to a better degree.

 

There is a huge active recreational flying community around here and we all have the flying bug! Let's get together.

 

Wags.

We are "absent members" as we live about 7 hours drive from Childers but our Secretary is a forum member, as are a number of other Club members. We did get to the January meeting where the date and bones of the event were finalised and flyers were to go out to all clubs after that, (I got one after a bit of prompting in March) but I do agree that there should be a bit more co-ordination. Notice it is mainly the women who think to do this?

 

The unintended outcome is that flyers can breakfast at Childers, compete at Gympie and lunch at Maryborough. We can't make it due to work committments, but we wish all three clubs well.

Big day at Gympie, Sunday 16th

 

For all those Aviators out there who like to make last minute decisions where to fly too,the comp day day at YGYM tomorrow is looking at this stage to be a very big event with both GA and RAA competing for trophies and prizes.

 

We have aero clubs sending teams,individuals competing and aircraft from Drifters to Cessna 401s having a go at the flour bombing[CASA approved] to glide approach and spot landing plus taxying comps which will really sort out the men from the boys.

 

A sausage sizzle is on all day,plus there is a Trash and Treasure market on at the airfield as well.

 

So if you are within flying distance come in and either compete or watch and enjoy the activities.

 

See you there
