June Newsletter - Coping with COVID-19

The last few months have been a bit disruptive to say the least.  On 2 May the airfield was reopened and the club had to manage compliance with the subsequent State Chief Health Officer COVID-19 restrictions.  Initially we were restricted to only 2 members with flying slots booked via an on-line booking system. 

On 16 May we were able to relax the member numbers to 10 and discontinued the booking system.  From Monday 1 June the limit was increased to 20 members and with the further relaxing of restrictions on 3 July we are anticipating no further member number restrictions will be necessary.  However, use of some club facilities will still be restricted until cleaning regimes are no longer required.

We have compiled a few videos of some of the club activities since the airfield reopened.
