Business from Last Minutes: John Harriot has organized a NSWHPA weekend where 2 members from most clubs attend for training on how to access NSWHPA funding and also brain storm worthy projects. NHGC committee has nominated Gary Herman and John Dingle to attend. If anybody in the club has ideas on how to spend NSWHPA money that helps positively progress our sport please forward to NHGCpresident@gmail.com,
Flying - Some good flying at Booti Bootie by Jamie, Adrian, Selmsy, Donney and Bill Pain (local). Craig and JOD had a good fly at Hunter. Flying off Hickson st in 20knt and landind at Dicko in 25knt. Rory’s report on Dalby – 5 days of good flying, 30 pilots, couldn’t fly too far because of floading and closed roads.
General Business – Nominations for President and Treasurer. Whoever the new president and treasurer are will have continued support from Adriaan and Jamie, Craig ok to remain as treasurer. We have had some people express interest in stepping into those roles so amalgamation is off the table this year.
Sites – Hickson St Launch on Saturday saw a good turnout from both NHGC and NPGC. In about 3 hours the front lip was cleaned up and the tops taken down of all the bushes out the front and side. Good job everyone. We need to organize a similar working bee for Bombala.
Excessive rain has stopped access to the Heaton launches and Hooley Dooleys. Heatons are in need of cleanup vegetation and rubbish. Hunter launch grass was cut by Jamie, JOD and Craig.
Barraba Big Toe – November, Adriaan to lodge, Karl to run, Billo and Jamie Scoring.
Safety issues – Maybe it was a bit strong to launch off Hickson st in 20knt! All launches needed wire assist, Jamie last without, went off sideways. Took about 20min to get out front (except Jamie down low).
