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.

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.
