Old
Business…
1.
Kutztown Vintage Days 2003 – There wasn’t much traffic at
the event. Few flyers were handed
out due to the poor weather. Thanks
goes out to those who helped setup.
2.
June 6 Berks Co. TV Program – Bud Wunder presented a
directions map to the field. This
was accidentally left out of the program.
However, details were given on the show. Jack Hilbert assisted with the setup and presentation.
A thanks goes out to both for their efforts.
A motion was made by Bud Wunder, seconded by Bob Grim, and approved to
donate $50 to the Berks Co. TV Station.
3.
Appreciation Day – For Sam Miller and George Case, Walt
Gladney proposed to give a $50 check to George Case and his wife and a $200
check to Sam Miller and his wife and daughters for their continued efforts for
the TCWS.
4.
Swap Meet Insurance Activity – Sam miller was contacted by
an insurance adjustor. Details
regarding the event were discussed. No
other information was available at the time.
5.
2004 Swap Meet Field House Lease – Half the usual rate to
rent the field house has been secured by Dale Loop. This includes kitchen and audio.
This reduced rate was the result of the misfortune of the 2003 Swap
Meet field house fire. A motion
was made by Vince Indelicato, seconded by Bud Wunder, and approved to provide
the necessary $125 down payment.
There
was no other old business at the time.
New
Business…
1.
Harrisburg Club Representatives – Pete Castine (event CD
and Harrisburg club treasurer) was present to provide details regarding the
August event. At this time, radio
interference is providing problems at their field, possibly due to HDTV
broadcasts. This is the last year
for their current lease at the field. The
event was scheduled for June 7th & 8th, 2003.
It will be in IMAC contest format, which typically includes larger type
aircraft, scale aerobatics, and sequenced, judged maneuvers.
Pete’s proposal is the following:
·
All volunteers will be provided by Pete
·
Pilot fees will cover trophies & contest director
expenses
·
Typically there will be 30-50 pilots, depending on the
weather
·
For an average of 200-300 people, the concessions would be
provided by the TCWS by choice
·
Any remaining
fee collected would be turned over to the TCWS for our efforts
The
event would run from 8 - 5 on Saturday and 9 – 2 (?) on Sunday.
Pete would handle the notification of camping facilities and hotels.
A motion was made by George Case, seconded by Karen Loop, and approved
to accept Pete Castine’s proposal as presented.
2.

were presented by Walt Gladney including setup times, volunteers, etc.
