John Sawyer Field

 

The September club meeting will be at John Sawyer Field, flying begins about 5pm with a short business meeting at 7pm on Tuesday, September 2.

Agenda:

 

 

Flying Update…

By Don Hart

 

Thursday flying sessions at Sawyer Field have been very well attended. Unfortunately, sunset is coming earlier, so evening flying sessions will be shorter and shorter until they are no longer practical. Sunday flying sessions will continue, depending on weather conditions.

 

Come on out and join the fun!

 

 

At the last meeting…

By Don Hart

 

The August meeting was held at Sawyer Field at about 7pm.

 

Moscow Parks and Rec Model Field Site Update

 

Dave Walker (president) and Joe Bolden have continued to attend meetings with Moscow Parks and Rec. The flying field is in the plans for the new park, but new people have joined the discussion with requests for changes to the planned facilities at the park, possibly lengthening the process.

 

So, don’t plan on flying at the new park this year, but let’s not give up hope. Support efforts for a new field.
