By-Laws
Clarification
The
current By-Laws describe Family Membership as follows:
Family
Membership:
Includes all flying members of the immediate family (spouse and children). They
have full privileges and voting rights. Dues: One (1) Full Membership plus one
(1) Junior Membership, plus AMA Membership for each flying member. Junior
members must have AMA membership to vote. Children are included until their 19th
birthday and from their 19th birthday until their 25th birthday, provided they
remain continuously dependent upon their parents for their principal support.
The
members voted to clarify the Family Membership as described in the first
sentence as all flying members of an immediate family, to include the primary
member, the member’s spouse, and any children.
Field
Maintenance
Steve
Shackley reported that the City web site for the flying field has been updated
to include mention of the CL activities and facilities there. He will contact
the City to ensure that the address of the field is posted at the flying areas
and at the entrance to the field to facilitate emergency response. The City has
offered to install a table at the CL site. We discussed laying out the primary
circle to allow greater clearance from the boundary fences. We also discussed
laying out a smaller 1/2A circle north of the primary circle. The potential
layout will be evaluated at the field on Sunday, 11 January.
Contest
Events
and dates for the 2015 High Desert Control Line Fiesta were discussed. The
members voted to sanction the contest for the weekend of 22-23 August with 21
January as a set-up and practice day. We voted to include Stunt (skill classes
and OTS), Carrier (same events as in the past), and Scale. Dick Perry will
contact Scale modelers in our drawing area to determine which events will
provide the best participation. Potential events include 1/2A, Fun Scale, and
either Sport Scale or Profile Scale. Stunt events will be flown on Saturday, and
Carrier will be flown on Sunday. Scale static judging will be accomplished on
Saturday with one round of flying. Scale flying will continue on Sunday.
