Hello Members,
Here are a few upcoming club outings that you may be interested in
Scone Cafe Brunch:
Well, the brunch at the “Bent Prop Cafe” last Sunday was a nonevent due to rain and low cloud throwing a spanner into works. So, we need to set a new date for that one and I will let you know when we come up with one.
HVGC Easter Vintage Rally 2025:
Today we received an invitation to the Hunter Valley Gliding Club’s Easter Vintage Rally at Warkworth. Last year a few of us attended this event and it was a good day out – I am sure that all of those that went would agree. There is a poster for this year’s event attached below and please remember to be in touch with Mick if you intend to fly in – Contact details are included on the poster.
Tooraweenah Airshow 5th April 2025:
Don’t forget, there is a Paul Bennet Airshow scheduled for Saturday April 5th with all proceeds in support of the Arthur Butler Aviation Museum at Tooraweenah. The funds raised will go towards the restoration of a DeHavilland Dove which has been donated to the Group. This can be a one-day event for us from Cessnock – However, airspace at Tooraweenah will be closed for the airshow from 10am to 3.30pm on the day. Under wing camping will be permitted on the Friday and Saturday nights and there will be a 7.30am breakfast on the Sunday morning for those that have stayed over. I have attached a flyer for prospective restoration sponsors that will provide more information.
Maralinga Fly-out End of April 2025:
If you have not indicated your intention to participate in this one yet, you may have left it too late. My understanding is that there are five aircraft going and that accommodation etc. has been booked. This one departs on April 28th and will be of about eight or ten days duration.
Each of these events are Club supported and bonus tickets in our next major prize draw will be assigned to all members that participate.
Regards
Bob Finch
