Annual Meeting

The first official event of the 2020 season was the Annual General Meeting, which took place last night on the screens of 22 digital devices.

We heard the startup plan for the season, which will involve solo flying only, at least for now.  Greg presented the new, non-negotiable, COVID procedures.

There won't be any dual checkrides, and everyone is encouraged to talk with an instructor before the first flight.  The towplane isn't quite ready, but it should be back in the air soon.  Flying days will be arranged individually, like Slacker days.

We spent some time talking about how there's really no good solution for getting a retrieve.  The major takeaway is that we are all responsible for our own retrieves, and that the normal pressure we put on club members to volunteer to be a crew has been removed.

Tim presented the Treasurer's report, which led to a discussion about how to pay for the painting of the towplane, scheduled for the end of the season.

Our July 4th encampment at Franconia is cancelled, with an unlikely chance that it may be revived at the last minute.  No commitment one way or the other on Gorham.

It was really good news to hear that all of the current members of the Board of Directors were willing to serve in their positions for another year, and all were re-elected by acclamation.  Thanks Greg, Mark, Tim, and Eric!

Thanks also to Eric for being the ZoomMaster.  We should meet like this more often.
