Ops Mgr Update 31 Jan 25

Winter Work Programme

Thank you to those who attended the Declutter Day last Sunday.  The excellent turn out meant we got everything done in <3 hours.  I am continuing to sort through the ancient paperwork to ensure we dispose of everything safely!

As our Chairman mentioned in his latest message, we have nominated 2 days for sprucing up the clubhouse paintwork;  9th March will be a preparation day and 16th March will be the painting day.  Nigel Marshall & Arthur Gill are coordinating the work so volunteers are requested to e mail Nigel (slowflyer123@aol.com).  There will be some disruption around the Clubhouse, but we expect to be able to continue to operate throughout.

Jon Lee is standing by to fit blinds in the crew room when the redecoration is complete and Graham Bartlett is looking at new lights for the crew room  and elsewhere in the Clubhouse to brighten things up.

Currency/Licence Checking & T Cards

Samantha Davis & Rachel Willson have taken on the task of checking your licences and currency.  Every month they will post a list of people who have a FCL, FRTOL, Medical or Certificate of Experience that has expired or will do so in the next 30 days – ACCORDING TO OUR RECORDS. If you have renewed the licence or our data is wrong, please enter the correct date on the list and we will amend our records and stop bothering you. You will also get an e mail alerting you to the relevant expiry (ies).  In addition we will post a list of members whose  30, 42 or 60 day currency has expired at the date of the check.  If you are on either list  your T Card will be turned to RED; you may only turn it back to GREEN when you have resolved the “issue”.  Your T Card will also be turned to RED if there is a new order or publication that you need to read and sign for;  these documents will be flagged up on the Hot Poop Board; again turn your T Card to GREEN when you have read and signed as having done so on your Signature Sheet.
