Canberra Recreational Airfield

I received this email regarding a fresh approach to obtaining a second airfield in the ACT.

 

I post it here as is, with no changes, for your interest. Jack. :thumb_up: :thumb_up:

I hope this email finds you all well and flying happily!

 

I’m sending this notification on behalf of David Edmunds.

 

There will be a meeting at Unit 3/1 Pirie Street, Fyshwick (the RA-Aus headquarters) beginning at 5.30pm on the 6th August 2009 to further the proposal for a recreational airport in the ACT.

 

The major items are the election of office bearers for an association in order to carry the proposal forward, and the formation of working groups.

 

Unfortunately, it’s too late to get an announcement into the RA-Aus magazine although it will be going on the website. We would be very grateful if you could inform anyone else who may be interested about the meeting please. All supporters are welcome whether they are RA-Aus, GA, SAAA or any other type of recreational pilot.

 

You may remember that there was a suggestion that everyone at the first meeting would attempt to bring someone else to the next meeting – it would be nice to try and continue that.

 

You are receiving this email because you are on the mailing list for those interested in a second airport for Canberra. If you no longer wish to receive notifications please reply with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line.

 

Thanks!

Anyone have an idea when this will "go on the web site"?

Reminder for those in the Canberra area and interested. This is tonight.

 

I have just confirmed that it is still happening.

 

 

[DPW]

I missed this due to work commitments. Did anyone go? What was the outcome?

 

 

[slartibartfast]

Yes - it was very useful. About 20 people attended.

 

Decisions were made about creating a not for profit incorporated body under ACT jurisdiction, and 5 committee members were elected. Initial steps were discussed, some names for the group discussed but not decided, and wheels were set in motion.

 

You'll need to come to the next meeting or contact the committee to find out more.

 

It's a beginning.

It is a beginning and sounds like a very good start. Do you know where I would find more info, committe members, etc?

 

Cheers

The only 2 members full names I can recall right now are Peter Jolly and John Washbrooke. I don't have contacts handy, but you problem know at least one of them already. If not, give Lee Ungermann a call at RAAus and he'll put you in contact with them.

 

I remember Peter because he was one of my first instructors 30 years ago.
