Dear Member,
These are unprecedented times. We are currently following the guidance of ‘no gatherings of more than 10 people’ which has resulted in the following:
POSTPONED – Inaugural Exped Meeting
We will continue to plan for the better times ahead, but meantime, IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY ON THE EXPED WHATSAPP GROUP and WISH TO BE PART OF THE EXPED please email me at mark.manwaring@haltonaeroclub.co.uk and you will be added.
POSTPONED – Spring Clean
We will notify you of an alternative way of getting our Fleet and Club ready for the season. This will likely involve provision of equipment and jobs that can be done by individual volunteers that are looking to escape their household lockdown… However, until we know the size and shape of the next Government measures, please stand-by.
POSTPONED – Pre-Season Dinner
JK will be in touch next week with the alternate plan/arrangements.
On the Bright Side…
- Deacon and I inspected the Airfield yesterday and it has dried nicely. Pending the next Government briefing, we might start flying again soon.
- The Fleet has been started and checked-over and all is good.
- G-HACS requires a 50hr Service – this will be done at RAF Halton.
- We have been allocated 10 Junior Rank/Officer Pilot Scholarship Schemes this year, plus a couple of ‘Top-Up’ Scholars.
- The Air Cadet Air Experience Flying Scheme is in the process of being reinstated for the HAC (and RAF Waddington and Cosford) – this is hugely exciting. Stand-by for more detail.
We will keep you regularly updated on the impact of CV19 measures as they are announced. Meantime, stay safe, there is lots to look forward to once this passes.
Regards,
Mark
