New Frequency cards.
Feb 18, 2009 - 7:51 PM - by beto9
The frequency cards can now be printed with a new Excel spreadsheet. It can print more than one 72MHz cards (for those that operate in more than one frequency) and one for 2.4GHz transmitters. Each card printed is credit-card-sized.

Let me know if you have problems with it.

The file is zipped to permit uploading to our site.

Field Information
Jan 10, 2007 - 1:08 AM - by xed
Roll Call
In the interests of safety, please take the time to announce your intentions to go to the field. Flying alone can be dangerous and is discouraged at our club.

Field Access Procedures
If you are the first one to arrive, please hide the combination to our lock after opening the gate. If you are the last one to leave, it is your responsibility to ensure that our gate is locked.

Garbage Disposal
You are responsible for any garbage you bring to the field. Please do not leave any mess behind for others to deal with.

Lawn Cutting
All aircraft are to be grounded while the lawn is being cut and do not make the guy wait until you are through flying. He is not paid by the hour. This should be obvious but apparently it is not.

WIMAC AGM 2009 Results
Nov 26, 2009 - 11:26 PM - by Dwight Macdonald
Congratulations!! to all the executive re-elected and the new directors/positions elected at the AGM last night. The new ones are:

Field Directors: James Steger, George Ujhegyi, Denis cloutier

Training coordinator: Kevin Rochon

Indoor Activities: Mick Forey

Safety Program: Jeremy Cartlidge

Thanks guys for your willingness to support the club by taking on these tasks! The complete Executive list for 2010.

Another major change that was approved was a $25 fee increase to cover the much needed road repairs and drainage improvements to the heli field and second parking lot ... the three new Field Directors will certainly make sure it is money well spent!

There was a lot of good discussion about the training program. Kevin will take on the important task of working out the best way to run the training program.

I personally am very grateful to Mick for volunteering to take over the Indoor Activities Director post ... it will be great to just relax and fly!

Jeremy gave a good indepth talk about safety and will work out a safety policy where ongoing observations and suggestions are an integral part.

If I have missed any important points, your input is welcome.

Thanks again for the great participation!!
