Wednesday evening November 20:
Frank is presenting our only Build and Repair session of 2019. Come learn repair
techniques and have fun with Frank and other volunteers
Wednesday evening December 4: Our 2019 Annual General Meeting
Agenda:
- Funny slide show.
- Election of a new board
- Live music entertainment
- Secret Santa gift exchange *
* Each member that wants to participate should bring along a model airplane hobby related gift, in the $10 to $20 range (or more if you're so inclined). It can be new or used, but wrapped up nicely. Members choose gifts by random numbers, or can 'steal' someone else's gift. Come see what it's all about! It's a lot of fun. Participation is optional.
All at Colonel Mustard's (restaurant and bar) 6545 Hwy 7, Markham.
We generally start arriving from about 5 pm, and enjoy supper together until about 7 o'clock, and then we move downstairs to start our meetings at about 7:30 pm. These meetings are generally a lot of fun, and we do have many things to talk about. All members are encouraged to attend.
We had our AGM. I counted 31 people which is a great turnout. Lots of laughs, some business, the Throttles singing songs and secret Santa with lots of stealing going on.

Not surprisingly there was lots of fun had by all.
Great entertainment by the Threetles. I can't believe how many of us can't carry a tune. ::) Me included...
Many thanks were extended to Greg, Graham, Andy and Simon for the work they had selflessly volunteered to the club over the years.
The new BOD were welcomed and thanked for stepping forward.
I wish to extend my personal thanks to the new BOD, David, Rob and Athol and to Michael for volunteering to take the helm again.
I was so sorry to miss it!
I had planned to come for weeks.
