Chairman’s Message 30 Jan 25

Dear Member,

Whilst the weather may be keeping us on the ground, we are busy preparing for our Centenary year flying season. Please put the following into your diaries:

2025 EXPED – INAUGURAL MEETING – SAT 8 FEB – 1000hrs
This one-hour meeting will present the plan for the 2025 Overseas Expedition. No need to commit until after this meeting, so come along and find out what it is all about! Attendance on the Exped, with shared flying, is the most economic and challenging way of expanding your flying horizon. The Exped is end-Jun.

MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL PAPERWORK – FEB 25
The Membership Sec will be starting the renewal process in the next few weeks. We have frozen the membership rate from last year. This has been a dreadful winter and it is critical that we replenish our funds ASAP. Please do not delay your membership renewal, or there will be no HAC.

STATION COMMANDER’S INSPECTION – WED 19 FEB 25
This annual inspection is hugely important. The Ops Manager will be looking for assistance in the days prior – please respond immediately and pitch-in.

CLUBHOUSE PAINTING DAYS – SUN 9 & SUN 16 MAR – 1000hrs
As a Station Encroachment, WE are responsible for the good order of our infrastructure. It is therefore critical that both of these events are supported – no special skills required. Just a desire to ensure that the HAC is allowed to continue to operate at RAF Halton. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU.

There is a theme to the last 3 titles above. Your Staff and Committee are working hard, please ensure that you give us your full support.

Regards,

Mark
