THE SEPTEMBER 2014 HCRCC MEMBERSHIP MEETING WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 27

 with the follow members attending:  President ~ Ron Hargrove, Vice-President ~ David Mitchell, Secretary ~ J.R. Murphy,  Events Host ~ Julian Pugh,  Brian Hurley, E. McKnight, Ricky Hambrick, Richard Rousseau, Ed Moore, Mark Trott, and Charlie Trott.   

1)  Ron called the meeting to order and pointed out that the sign-in sheet is important to our interface with the Henry County Parks and Recreation Department and provides information submitted to them monthly.  Therefore, please keep using it each time you visit the field.   

2)  Ron pointed out that someone continues to operate an RC plane from the area well north of the field and recently it appeared to be a quad-copter type aircraft at high altitude.  We will attempt to identify the pilot involved and it will also be logged into the club’s records and reported to the Henry County Parks and Recreation leadership. 

3)  Ron informed attendees that the Officers are currently working on the 2015 Fiscal Budget and that the 2015 dues will remain at the $75.00 figure.  He urged members that if they have a project they are seeking the club to adapt - now would be the proper time to make that suggestion known, especially if it involved funding.      

4)   Ron mentioned the recent Heli-Fun Fly and said he was interested in speaking with Brian Hurley to get his ideas on the activity from an active “heli pilot”.      

5)  Ron reminded attendees that the election of officers is scheduled for November and anyone who is interested in nominating anyone for one of the positions is encouraged to make that idea known to one of the present club officers - ASAP.  

6)  The food service activities were discussed wherein the club provides lunch at special activities.   Due to the ever increasing cost of food items, it will be necessary to raise the price for the meals to $6.00 per person. We also agreed to provide only ice water for a drink with the lunch.

7)   The subject of a special “Club Logo Shirt” was brought up and the suggestions centered on a white - pocket type shirt with the logo only above the pocket.  Some suggested an embroidered logo so this will be looked into.  It was agreed that this would be a purchase with cash with your order situation.

8)  Ron reminded attendees that an Autumn Fun Fly was scheduled for October 18 and that some special recognition within the day could be made such as “War Birds”, helis, ducted fan A/Cs, but that no other special feature would be used.  We also agreed to try to incorporate a balloon chase in the day for all type aircraft. 

9)  Ron reminded pilots to be ever mindful of the southern field boundary even if there is no activity at the ball fields.  He encouraged us to practice flying within the field boundaries as good training for all concerned.   

10)  Ron reminded attendees that the 2014 Christmas party is scheduled for December 6 at Glen’s hangar and encouraged us all to attend. 

   Happy Landings......   JRM, Club Secretary
