1.    Xmas party – Success!  Welcome at Softys 2020 if space still available.
2.    Corryong Cup.  Good Atmosphere despite few people and fires.  Unanimous vote for Hubert taking over.
3.    Comps update from Karl Kindle – Manilla 25 pilots.  West Bombout emergency landing only.  Farmer will be patrolling the area.  If confronted by him please call Karl Kindle and let Karl talk to him.  Corryong had 3 flyable days before the fires took over.  Corryong ran at a loss.
4.    Safety Issues
4.1    H bottom landing at Bombala and sustained broken arm.  H hadn’t flow for a while, light conditions, flew too far out to stay in the lift.  Stuffed up her approach and didn’t come in with speed and had a hard landing.  Reportedly classic Dudley bubble weather symptoms.
4.2    Paul Rankin bottom landing at Strezzi.  Flew out of the lift band too much.  Bad approach with way too much speed and did not flare.  Hard landing resulted in neck fractures.  Paul will be leaving the sport.
5.    Site Report
5.1    Merewether Path – Kate said path will not go to the top.  Path will stop below the rock face so it has a level of difficulty.  NHGC to help with signage to help educate the public.  Reports that picnickers have been getting upset with being asked to move for flying operations.
5.2    Carmels landing paddock is due for annual slashing.  Email invoice to HPA John Harriot.
6.    AIRS – anybody interested in AIRS training please contact Alan McMillan.
