<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>I just want to start the ‘discussion’ about a
new unrestricted field for ARCS. I am referring to a field with no altitude
restrictions or noise issues. One that we can fly all of our various
types of aircrafts and hold events. Last year that field was
Wayne’s World.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Over the last couple of days, I have had some phone calls
back and forth from fellow members who are concerned about the fact that the
club didn’t decide on a field at the meeting on Tuesday. We hate to
see an entire (summer) month go by without a field while we wait for the next
club meeting. So, some of us have decided to move ahead with the plans to
use the field ‘across the way’ from Wayne’s World.
(Sorry, I don’t know the name of the field owner so I don’t exactly
know what to call the field at this point.) From what I have been told,
this field will be even more wide open than Wayne’s and with no berms or
wind rows (smoother/flatter too).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Mike Mosesian has been in contact with the owners and with
Wayne and everything is looking good. Wayne says he is fine with us
moving and there would be no hard feelings. Mike also negotiated for us
(or ARCS) to spread out the payments across a five month term – which
comes out to $400 per month for a total of $2,000 (which is even cheaper than
last year’s field). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We have discussed this with our club president, Tom Simes,
and it seems that everything is looking good for us to go ahead and begin
getting things in order (insurance for the field, figure out the runway, move
the benches, etc.).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So now we (you, us) need to get together and set up a
day/time to meet out there and discuss the arrangements and have a good look
around. Maybe a work party or something to that effect. Those that
are interested in helping and/or would like to be involved and see the field (and
hopefully do some flying too), just let your voice be heard here on the mailing
list. Alternately, if you prefer to remain anonymous, go ahead and send
an email directly to my email address (below).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Reminder: There still hasn’t been an ‘official’
club vote on the field. As far as I know, we will still be taking care of
the voting process at the next meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>(Also a huge thanks goes out to Mike Mosesian and Pat Martin
for getting the ball rolling.)<o:p></o:p></p>
