Groeschel Field Improvements

 

A group of us are planning on having a little 'work party' out at Groeschel
Field this Saturday (May 23).

Currently there is a 600'x75' runway that we want to work on a little bit.
We plan to go over it with our fine tooth combs looking for any roots or
debris that we can remove.  

 

We also have future plans (in mid June) to 're-landscape' that runway and
plant grass.  At that point we will quit flying off of it and use our
temporary runway.  The (planned) temporary runway will be appended on to the
east end of the 600' runway.  Our plan is to make the temporary runway be
400'x75' tacked right onto the end of our 'permanent' runway.  This Saturday
we will also be working on that extended section of the runway.  In effect,
our usable runway between now and mid June will be approximately 1,000'x75'.

 

Additionally we plan to go get the benches, frequency board, and wind sock
from Wayne's Field and bring them over to Groeschel Field.  (Yes I know the
club hasn't voted yet but the benches need to be moved out of Wayne's
field.)

 

So those of you that are interested, bring your yard tools and skills (and
planes) on out this Saturday.  As far as required tools, really just
whatever utensils you own that are suitable for pulling up small roots and
twigs (a steel rake wouldn't hurt either).  I plan to be there by 9am but
the actual 'partying' probably won't begin until 10am as people show up.

 

If you can make it, send me an email and let me know so I can get a head
count of who is coming and whether or not they are bringing a pickup or
something else we can use for moving benches.

 

There should be plenty of time to get in some flying too.

 

If you need more information or have questions, contact me by email
(preferably).  If you really feel that you just want to talk to me, give me
a call at 245-3550 (leave a message if necessary).
