Was the "event fee" $55 for the event or per competitor or what?

As a resident of Narromine I would like to set the record straight
... up to July 1 Ewen held two positions with Narromine Shire
Council: airport groundsman and shire ranger. As the latter become
more and more demanding it was decided that he be relieved of his
airport role to concentrate more on his ranger duties. For those of
you who have enjoyed flying at Narromine and commented on the
wonderful airport facility, it is all thanks to Ewen and his staff.
One of his roles at the airport was to ensure all rules and
regulations were adhered to which made him unpopular with some of
the airport users who quite blatently felt they were a law unto
themselves and could do whatever they wished. As one of the
councillors commented at the recent budget meeting where the $55
participant fee was discussed: "Aerodrome users should work with
council not against them."
Ewen is our local Fire and Rescue NSW (Fire Brigade) Station
Commander; and was a driving force in our Apex Club for many years,
serving as president and board member over the years. His late
father, Ewie Jones, was a highly respected aviation figure in this
part of the state and served as Narromine Aero Club's CFI for many
years before relocating to Parkes. During my 20+ years in the media
industry in Narromine I have had many dealings with Ewen and feel
that he should not be ridiculed as he has been in Ross McLean's
email. ... Anne Elliott

Subject: [Aus-soaring] No Event Fee for Narromine Airport
Some very good news. The Narromine Council has voted unanimously to
drop the proposed event fee for Narromine Airport.
There will be no such fee imposed.
Thank you to all who wrote directly to the Council opposing the
imposition of this poorly thought out proposal.
The Council has instead set up a stronger airport management
committee who will work with the airport stakeholders towards
positively promoting and encouraging all aviation events at Narromine Airport.
The former airport groundsman has been reassigned to the role of
dogcatcher (true). Those of us who knew Ewan will agree it is a role
much better suited to his ability.
Cheers, ROSS
