Membership & IER
Membership
My thanks to all who have applied to renew their HAC membership. I am pleased to tell you that your application has been accepted and I invite you to pay the appropriate fee at your earliest convenience – if you have not already done so. Once payment has been received, the Passes Team will send you the paperwork to renew your Station Pass. We will not be issuing membership cards this year, but your EBS & website members area access will continue and your e mail address will remain on the Club distribution list.
If you have not yet applied to renew your membership, please do so as soon as you can or let me know that you do not intend to rejoin – so I can take your name of the e mail list and stop pestering you.
If you are one of the few who have extended membership – ie. former JOJRPSS students & RAF “Moved Away” – please disregard the above, your renewal is automatic and you will continue to have access to the EBS and website.
I have still to receive renewal forms from some Committee, Instructors and Enablers – there are a few outstanding!
IER
You will have seen the Chairman’s remarks on IER in his recent e mail. The following is from Simon Greaves who has the unenviable task of coordinating our IER rota..
The 2025/2026 IER2 duty rota is now available (attached & on the IER webpage) with the first cover day the 12th of April. As per the chairman’s email of the 28th of Feb, volunteering for a duty day is a non-negotiable requirement and a condition of membership. As noted, you will be given the opportunity to choose a date – where this is not received, a date will be allocated to you. Only those who are full time employees or instructors at the club are exempt from this duty. Full details of the duty are set out on the IER webpage.Please email simon.greaves@haltonaeroclub.co.uk to volunteer for a date by the 21st of March. If you have not done so, you will then be allocated a date, and it will become your responsibility to attend, or to rearrange cover. This change has become necessary, as over the last two seasons nearly half the membership have not volunteered for a single duty, unfairly placing the burden on those remaining, many of whom do more than one duty.I have also uploaded to dropbox a copy, which I have set to read only, that would allow members to see the latest version – link below. I will update the document as dates get allocated – this should reduce duplication in volunteers proposing the same dates.I look forward to receiving your volunteer dates.Simon GreavesIER2 Coordinator
