Our club CFI Lindsay Tilley is keen to promote the MBGC and is looking for ideas. It has been noted the a membership above 30 is considered desirable and is deemed to be the cut for prosperity. Clubs with less than this number seem to be in decline.( maybe the MBGC is an exception). Rob Wintulich wishes to create a sub committee just to work on promotions.
Rob Wintulich moved that the general committee meetings be held bi monthly and that he will set the dates accordingly Seconded Baylee Roberts... Next meeting to on the 8th of November 2012 at the residence of Greg Newbold , at Brandreth street Tusmore.
Rob Wintulich attended the GFA meeting held in August at Gawler. He found it quite frustrating.
A question has been raised re the value of the club's G109 for insurance purposes. It is believed that Steve Burgess is to investigate values from local and over seas markets.

Steve Blacketer has asked the committee for permission to take the club glider to William Creek.

Lindsay responded in the affirmative, so Brian Holecek moved that Steve be permitted to take the aircraft away. Seconded Lindsay Tilley.
Bob Jenneson asked Franco Fonovic if he would elaborate on the subject of problems that the club may be facing in the future. These problems supposedly surrounding the legislation of the not for profit organisation etc. Franko produced a PowerPoint presentation on the subject to put forward his view.
