Presidents Report By Dave Doyon
Our winter Num-Bum certainly lived up to its name this year. Although we had no snow on the ground the winds were blowing and the temperatures were cold. Turnout was good considering the conditions. Two of us brave souls flew and two of us foolish soles crashed. After our attempts no one else attempted to fly. The company was good and Gerry Barrons had excellent Chilli and warm drinks to help us brave the cold. Maybe next year we will wait for a good weekend to have the event. Our Indoor Fun fly was very successful. About 30-35 pilots from 3 clubs attended and had a great exchange of ideas and information. The gym was constantly full of airplanes for the 4 hours. We also had a number of spectators who seemed to have a good time. . I would like to thank my wife for preparing the food it seemed to be enjoyed by all. This summer we plan to invite members of other local clubs to some of our events and attend some event taking place at the other clubs. We will keep our members informed about these events. The club is looking at placing an order for some golf shirts with our club logo. Don Souiliere checked around and found a shop in Kingsville that can offer us a good quality shirt at a reasonable price in small quantities. We are looking at a medium gray shirt (available with and without pockets). Our club logo would be embroidered on the front. We will have some examples at the next meeting and if members would like to order them we will have an order
form with pricing. We will need to have prepayment with any order. Cost are $20.00 for the golf shirt with no pocket and $23.00 with a pocket in sizes from M-XL) there will be a additional charge for larger sizes.
The order form for the new shirts is included at the end of this edition of the Emitter for those that want to place their orders at the upcoming meeting. We can accept cash or cheques but we must have a completed order form. Cheques should be made out to SPRCF. Please do not delay as there will be cut off date so we can present one order with payment to the supplier.
February's Meeting Minutes By Bob Garrett
President Dave Doyon called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm. ----------------------------------------------- Moved by Palmer Johnson and seconded by Sepp Uiberlacher “That the minutes be accepted as published in the Emitter.” Carried ----------------------------------------------- Treasurer Dave Murray presented a final annual financial statement for the 2009. Moved by Dave Kool and seconded by Dennis Pratt “That the 2009 financial Report be accepted as presented.” Carried ----------------------------------------------- OLD BUSINESS Paul Sousa confirmed April 17-18 as the dates for our annual Mall Show and Course D’Elegance. -----------------------------------------------
Dennis Pratt confirmed the Heavy Lift competition will take place on the weekend following the club Family Day. ----------------------------------------------- Greg Meyer inquired as to the existence and location of past records. Dave Doyon reported that Ron Harway (past President) has a two drawer filing cabinet containing past records and information. We need to find a new location to store this information. Dennis Pratt also has many archival records, pictures, and items that should be stored in a safe location. NEW BUSINESS 2010 Budget Dave Murray presented the proposed budget for 2010. This budget has been posted and available on the club website for members to access prior to this meeting. After general questions and discussion, it was; Moved by Palmer Johnson and seconded by Dave Kool; “That the 2010 budget be approved as presented.” Carried ----------------------------------------------- 2010 Schedule of Events Dave Doyon presented the schedule of club events for membership approval. Basically events remain unchanged except that one day events will be held on Saturdays leaving Sunday as a rain date. One new indoor event has been added. This schedule is available on our website and will also be published in the Emitter. Moved by Bill Green and seconded by Bob Axford; “That the 2010 Schedule of Events be approved as presented.” Carried ----------------------------------------------- Radio Station Recognition Dennis Pratt initiated discussion that we need to better promote the radio station that owns our flying field. The executive has discussed this matter as well. All agree that we want to support our land owner and that this is an opportunity that can mutually benefit both parties. Moved by Dennis Pratt and seconded by Larry Hawkworth; “That the club executive approach the radio station management regarding ideas as how we can best promote them through our hobby and club events.”
Carried The executive was directed to locate the club banner so that it can prominently be displayed at club functions. ----------------------------------------------- Leader Members CD Designation Peter Doupnik inquired into the status of the executive identifying candidates for MAAC Leadership status and recognition. Dave Doyon stated the executive is engaged in such discussions about leadership and CD candidates and will continue to draw upon the expertise of our club members who are familiar with the process. ----------------------------------------------- Palmer Johnson was able to locate the Dave Henshaw award Plaque. Dennis Pratt will see that Roger D’Amore’s name is added to the plaque as our latest recipient. ----------------------------------------------- A number of our members attended the KMP Model Night at Action Hobbies hosted by our neighbouring Southern R/C flyers Club.

Sunparlor Flyers News and Other Fun Stuff
Numbum Numbum certainly lived up to its name this winter. A few brave souls ventured out and there was some brief attempts at flying in the hurricane force winds and cold temperatures. However, very soon everyone was huddled in the improvised shelter eating chilli and drinking hot chocolate. The pictures below tell the story:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indoor Event We held our first (hopefully) annual indoor event at Herman High School on February 21. It was very well attended with about 35 pilots and another 15 or 20 spectators from three of the area clubs. There was a lot of fun flying and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to fly with so many of our fellow indoor enthusiasts. Don McLellan from Chatham put on a really impressive display of his 3D skills. There were several interludes where the very light weight aircraft were allowed unimpeded flight time and this allowed some of the beginners to participate in the fun. Thanks to Action Hobbies who came and displayed some of their wares to provide us with even more temptation. It was pretty obvious that this informal get together was well enjoyed and will likely be a regular event for our club. There are a many pictures posted on our website under 'Club Photo's. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spitfire Update Sepp is making great progress on his new Spitfire Mk16. Here are some pictures of Sepp showing his latest work to Lisa Stark, who is Dave Murray's daughter-in-law and also an airline
captain based in Denver. The Spitfire is an original design by Sepp and should be ready for the flight line by this spring.

Each event requires a CD to run the event and a food coordinator to obtain the food. The event CD may do both tasks if desired. If no volunteers are found by January 31, 2010 to run an event, it will be cancelled and not included in the 2010 budget. Most of our club events are simple to run and two people could share the duties. This is a good way to achieve your 2010 volunteer hour require
