Shannon Park Renewal... to December 31, 2020

Unread post by bdg » Thu Jun 18, 2020 9:52 pm

Some really good news to share as the weather is getting nicer and society is starting to cautiously open up..... we are in the final stages of renewing the lease with Canada Lands and all indications are positive that this will be approved! We're passing along MAAC insurance information and the lease will be paid shortly.

Really it is our positive track record that helps with this renewal. Thank you to everyone for continuing to fly safely!

Thanks, too, to Gary for his extra effort in making this happen.

See you at the field! Be safe!

So now the "fun begins" ...We had decided at our last AGM meeting in November that "if we were fortunate to get a lease renewal on June 30/2020" .. we would try to eliminate some of that tall growth of thorny bushes surrounding the flying field.

This would involve some mean "bushwacking" and "chipping" with power equipment. We estimate 12 members with the right equipment could do a bang up job in a single day. So we need ideas on what equipment is available, either to borrow or rent, and we need several members to join your Directors in an all out "war on the bushes"...!

We invite your comments on this initiative....it may be your model that goes down in this "no man's land".
