JOMAC JAMBOREE
06 November 2004
After much discussion about the new pit area and about how nice the club is looking it was decided to expand the much talked about Guy Fawkes evening to include an "Air Show." This to showcase our club, show kids that Play Station 2 isn't the only fun one can have with a joy stick !!!! and raise a bit of cash to help pay for the additions to the club.
An enthusiastic committee has volunteered (or was volunteered) their services - but as always we need MORE willing hands.
To date the following aircraft have been confirmed - Mike George's Delta - launched from the back of a vehicle moving at 70kms/per hour - something to see if you haven't been lucky enough to see it yet - the JOMAC Gary Sport will banner tow again - Helicopters - Gliders - Jets - Sky Divers - Full sized aircraft and Crane Rides and of course the by now legendary "Masters of Disaster" night show.
We are giving JOMAC Pilots first preference with display flying - please email me by the end of the weekend (3rd October) with the type of aircraft you would like to fly and your (very NB) frequency.
We will also be having a static display - so if you are harboring a really cool Airey that is way too precious to fly - let us know - by return email - you will need to bring a table and we will try to collect as many Gazebos as possible to keep the sun off.
If you have a gazebo you are happy to lend to the club for the day please email me soonest.
It is very important to note the following:
* We must have PRIOR notification of your willingness to fly in the display and/or participate in the static display - otherwise CHAOS will surely reign!!
* An Entrance fee will be charged - as we are inviting the public as well - but will be refunded on the completion of only an hours volunteer work - Report to Blue Container for a refund
* Crane rides will be R5.00 per person and are well worth it - the view is quite awesome (Thank you Oliver for the generous donation of one of your Cranes, the crew to operate it and the diesel to get it to the airfield)
* The Bar will be firing on all cylinders and the Beer Machine will be running at full speed
* Braai Packs will be on sale as will Wors rolls
* The camping has been moved onto the glider field, more room for all to enjoy the sights, and much more room for lots more campers - and security will be provided
* Tents - R50.00* Caravans - R100.00* REGISTRATION is essential (See SIMPLE registration form in the BLOG)
* All tickets can be prepaid to a committee member or purchased from the Blue Container on the day.
The 6th of November looks set to be a great day.
Indigenous Tree Project
"A plan is afoot to plant indigenous, fast growing trees in the car park. Donations will be kindly accepted and planted. Contact via email

Les has donated and planted our first indigenous tree in the car park - Free entrance to the JAMBOREE to any member donating an indigenous tree prior to 6 Nov.
Lost Property
Too many members are joining the New South African tradition of simply dropping someone else's lost property into their tool kit - Please guys if you find things lying around hand their to a Committee member or the member on bar duty.
