In New England, except for indoor aeromodeling activities and those who enjoy flying off the snow and ice, the flying season for most of us is just beginning.
The district officers and I have been contacting the clubs that have offered to host AMA District I–sponsored events for 2008.
We are continuing our program of allocating district funds to sponsor open fun-fly and specialty meets along with noon air show entertainment. With district sponsorship, all AMA members can attend and fly for free.
Last year we had two specialty electric events and two open fun-fly gatherings in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The locations are limited by the clubs that apply for hosting, and although we would like to have more places to choose from, we recognize that few clubs have the resources to host a multiple-day event requiring overnight parking.
The first District I–sponsored event for 2008 is an Electric Fun-Fly & Air Show advertised below. If you’re into electrics, don’t miss this gathering! The district officers and I want you to attend and enjoy these yearly events.
The AMA Park Pilot Program was introduced in January, and the AVPs and I have been asked to speak about it at a number of club meetings.
If your club wants to know more about the program—its benefits and impact on open-class clubs, and how you can help your AMA and the future of our sport—contact me or one of the district AVPs.
