COVID-19 Requirements

Just a reminder to all you are still required to scan/sign in when attending the field. This applies to visitors as well.
There are four QR scanning points available, two on the notice boards located at the charging shed, one outside the canteen and one inside the club room. If you don't have a capable phone, or your scan doesn't work, sign into the visitors book located on the bench in front of the charging shed.


Painting Club House Interior

A grant has been approved by AWA to undertake interior painting of the clubroom, toilets, kitchen. There will be some disruption to access over a period of days, apologies in advance for any inconvenience caused.
The start date for the painting is Monday 5 April and will take approx. two/three days.

Starting Benches Modifications

Thanks to Hillary for the modifications to the starting benches making them more suitable for larger models.

Safety Matters

A reminder to all that when starting and running up models (as per the By-Laws), use a mechanical restraint, point the model away from the pit area (South) and be at least two (2) metres from the pit area.

Demountable Storage Area


Due to the expectation of security for those storing their models, it is a requirement that only those who have paid a fee (for a space) to the club are permitted to access the demountable.
The door must be kept closed at all times after accessing and removing/replacing model/equipment.
The only exception to this are committee members who will access the area from time to time as required to check on storage/cleanliness.

Front Access Gates

Those members who access the field with trailers or large vans, please ensure:
1. Both gates are opened to their fullest, and
2. The speed limit of 20KPH, as for all vehicles, is strictly adhered to.

Caretaker’s Amenity

Lastly, please respect the Caretaker’s privacy and DO NOT approach the residence unless you have been invited by Bill, or urgent help is required, give him a call on his mobile for non urgent matters.

Canteen

Again, thanks to all the volunteers manning the canteen.
