Now I know why I keep this stuff - here's the end result of an email process that started around 13/07/07. The reference to Alpha and Charlie relates to two blocks that had been negotiated approximately 10 years ago between Boonah and Airservices (?), but were withdrawn about 5 years ago. A letter

Re: [Aus-soaring] Start procedures

Well the organisers of a particular comp could just comply with pilots wishes by setting the maximum start height at the base of airspace - which is exactly what the kiwis did for their nationals this year. At most sites, we aren't going to get there ever ! And Ross, Jim was referring to th

Thanks to Maurice for your last reply. So each State Board Member is elected by maybe 25 - 50 people - or is that overstating it? Are they "ordinary" members or pre-nominated Club Delegates who do that electing? And each Management Board Member is elected by what 3 or 5 department members

Also of concern is paid employees having a vote. Other organisations (e.g. Unions) stopped that caper decades ago for good reason. Have no problems with "heads of departments" being second row minders or advisers though, as they should only be. Chris McDonnell - Original Message - F
