Lone Star Championships:

It was agreed to have the contest the weekend of June 22-24, 2017.

North Texas Regional plans a construction project on 35 Right and that presents possible problems for our contest.  Curt will speak with the airport manager and check on the status of this construction project continuing into June, 2017.

Tom Rhodes spoke with Lynn Bowes to coordinate Seward’s contest date in June with our contest.

Judges School:

Chapter 24 plans to put on a judges school February 24-25, 2017 at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Dallas Love Field.  Tom will speak with the officers of FOF about reserving the room for the school.

Super D Tango:

It is agreed to have our Super D Tango contest on July 14, 2017 at Akroville.  Work needs to begin early on securing several Super Decathlons for the contest.  It was briefly discussed that Chapter 24 would purchase a Super D and lease it to preferred clients.

Tom Rhodes agreed to be the CD for this contest.  Entry fee is $200

Christmas Party:

Several venues were discussed.  Akroville seems to the leader location but the discussion will continue.

The agreed on date is December 9, 2017.

2018 Nationals:

The possibility of the Nationals returning to Sherman, NT Regional was discussed.  The move to Oshkosh, WI proved to be a situation that was no better for the pilots and staff than the perceived situation at Sherman.  Curt will check with the airport manager about the status of the construction of the runway and the present status of the tower personnel to determine if this would have a bearing on the Nationals returning to Sherman.  We will proceed with the hope that the Nationals will return to Sherman and we can prove to the powers that be that Sherman will be a good choice for the Nationals in the future.

Secretary:

The status of the office of the Secretary of our club was discussed.  The term for this office is 4 years.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 pm.
