MORUYA AERO CLUB'S BIGGEST MORNING TEA - 11AM SUNDAY June 7, 2015!

 

The Moruya Aero Club is hosting a Biggest Morning Tea to help raise vital funds for cancer research and support services. You can help the club, the cause, and get involved, by attending or making a donation! We are all affected by cancer in some way, whether that is a friend, family, or even yourself fighting the disease - We are all in it together, supporting each other, so let's raise our cups and together we'll beat cancer.

 

Fly or Drive in, Sunday, June 7, 2015 - the Morning Tea will begin at 11am. You are all invited so please share and invite your friends along too - we look forward to seeing you all at the club!

The long range weather forecast looks pretty good at this stage, hopefully it ends up that way in reality. Here is some more info for those wishing to fly in on the day:

 

Details for pilots flying in

 

____________________________________________________

 

RSVP: For catering purposes it would be greatly appreciated if everyone intending to fly in can just send a quick email reply so we can get an estimate on numbers, however we will have plenty of Tea/Coffee/Cakes/Fruit etc. for people who show up on the day.

 

The Morning Tea itself (Tea/Coffee/Cakes etc. around 11am) will be free, but we would greatly appreciate a donation to the Cancer Council either via the labelled buckets that will be placed around the Aero Club or via our fundraising page @ http://nsw.cancercouncilfundraising.org.au/MoruyaAeroClub

 

(*Tax Receipts are available for those who need them - contact me on the day to fill out the request form or email and I can get it all arranged, the Cancer Council post these out once the request forms are submitted.)

 

We will also be planning to fire up the BBQ around 12:45-1pm for a Sausage Sizzle BBQ Lunch for anyone who is still here early arvo (we know some people will probably have to leave around then to get home due to daylight), the Sausage Sizzle BBQ Lunch will be $10 each.

Aircraft Parking: We will have someone in a bright yellow vest providing parking directions - this will start on the Eastern Side of the Aero Club and gradually to the North into the large open area (south of the 05-22 cross strip) depending on numbers of aircraft that fly in to cause minimal interference with the Skydiving Ops.

 

Situational Awareness: Please also be aware of Skydiving Ops when flying in - For pilots unfamiliar with flying near an active drop zone, if there is a drop happening, it is generally recommended to orbit in position away from the airfield for the few minutes, maintaining situational awareness of other aircraft and also well clear of the canopies who will be on descent generally directly over the airfield. The pilot of the jump plane will announce on the radio when a drop is occurring and when the canopies are on the ground shortly after. If you are taxiing on the ground during a drop, if possible, please hold position and maintain idle throttle or shut the engine down to prevent prop wash from affecting canopies as they land.

 

As it could be quite busy on the day, it is important to remember 'See and Avoid' and clear, concise communication; as Moruya is a CTAF and there are no air traffic services provided, normal Class G procedures apply and it is up to the pilot to maintain safe separation from other aircraft, as always.

Hoping for great flying weather and we look forward to seeing you all here if you can make it!
