Greetings all,

I hope you are all enjoying your summer in the sun!  Just a friendly reminder to everyone that we will be having a final Contest Prep meeting on Sunday 20 July 2014 at 1300L.  The location for the meeting is the same as the previous meeting, in the ground school classroom of the Brantford Flying Club (CYFD).  We will be discussing any loose ends that require tying up for the contest, securing jobs for volunteers, and answering any final questions that come up.  All are welcome!

For those that have not paid membership dues as of yet, I will be bringing more membership forms to the meeting.  A reminder that dues are $100 this year.

Cheers,
Chapter 3
