Good afternoon all....

I wonder how many responses I will receive in respect of this but here goes. In the past, the committee meetings were held up north because that is where the bulk of the committee normally resided.

I would appreciate the feeling (suggestions?) and importance for you as MISASA member to:

1. Host a MISASA Committee meeting in your area or airfield (Port Elizabeth/East London, KZN, Free State...)
2. Bearing cost in mind, how important would it be for you to have the whole compliment of committee present for such a meeting?
3. Anything specific that you would like to see at such a gathering (eg. S&R presentation, Technical presentation etc.)

Our next meeting is proposed to take place in Cape Town (Morningstar) in February 2011 and we are hoping that we can co-ordinate this with a breakfast fly in.

Why do you want a S&R or other presentation for a committee meeting?Do it for a members meeting.

@nicow - kindly understand that we are trying to add value....

Why do you want a S&R or other presentation for a committee meeting?Do it for a members meeting

Maybe you misunderstood the post... We are trying to get the feel as to what members want at a meeting. We then co-ordinate the committee meeting with for example what I mentioned - a technical presentation iro of eg. MOP & ARO for members who wish to attend, S&R etc. This way, we have direct contact with members at a meeting (albeit only scheduled for 4 times a year and iro the constitution, members are welcome to attend committee meetings) rub shoulders and mingle.

We have already had the S&R presentation for the year at Morningstar which was open to ALL AVIATORS (during AAD 2010) and had an attendance of about 60 people. This was arranged by Greg & myself and we had representation from Santjie & Chris Williams from CAA. Even though it was not a MISASA meeting, It was done under the auspices of the association with both Greg & myself present.

I'm sure a fly in for breakfast ,or a spot landing competition will do.

Okay.... so how does a Fly-In for TRIKES, LSA, GYRO's and whatever sound like at Morningstar on the 26th February 2011?

John, I believe that there would be sufficient questions (or enough of a draw card) to just host a MISASA meeting at one of the South of Vaal locations. No need for S&R, or other topics - just a panel discussion with the 'main manne' may be more than sufficient to command interest.

Thankz Roger...

PE is also on the cards for Eastern Cape as we discussed and you know whose number I'll be pressing

Will the trike & lsa guys also warm to a brekkie fly-in?
