Plans are going well and most importantly it looks like Mother Nature will be co-operating for a mighty fine weather day. We have to thank the sponsors that have donated door prizes - particularly for the special prizes for the pilot who:
1. Has flown the furthest to get to High River
2. Is the oldest licensed pilot
3. Is the youngest licensed pilot
Our sponsors to date are Calgary Pilot Supply Ltd, Chinook Honey Company, Swiss Chalet Shawnessy and WestJet. Thanks for making this event extra special!!

The next club meeting will be Monday August 28th, 7:30 pm, at The Royal Duke Hotel 2 Elizabeth St, Okotoks, AB T1S 1J7. (Our normal meeting location, the Elks Hall, is still closed on Monday evenings.)
See you there!

HIGH RIVER AIRPORT CLEANUP PLANNED FOR SATURDAY AUGUST 2017
On Saturday August 26th we are planning a work bee day at the airport starting at 9 am. This will include the following activities:
-          Replace 6 broken lights on the runway and taxiway with the new tubs
-          Gravel around the runways both east/west and north/south
-          Feed the gophers close to the runways
-          Level the north/south runway where gophers have made mounds
-          Have some people work on cleanup of the club plane in our hanger
-          Train people to use the new airport mower and cut the grass.
Jim and Bill would appreciate some idea of who would be interested in coming out that day. If they could email  at bzurawel@telus.net
We plan to hold a BBQ at our hanger at the end of the day. Families will be welcome.

This meeting was held last evening at the Shawnessy Swiss Chalet. 10 members were in attendance and meeting minutes will be emailed to all active members. Not got your 2017 membership paid yet? Contact the Robert Monahan who's information is on the contact page!

The meeting Agenda will be firmed up closer to the date. The location will also be confirmed since there are renovations at the Elks Lodge throughout the summer. Monday July 31 @ 1930 pm somewhere!  

Our Cherokee has been doing a lot of flying in the later parts of summer and is in need of a little TLC. Please join us on Friday Sep 16, 2016 at 5PM at Bill and Jim's hangar in the SW corner of the High River Airport and bring some elbow grease. Together we'll get this bird shining again!

Joel H. has been gracious enough to volunteer his time to give everyone a ground refresher on forced approaches. Maybe it's been awhile since your check ride or you've got a check ride coming up? Come on out to the High River Airport (Bill and Jim's hangar) on Sunday, Sep 18, 2016 at 9AM. There is no cost for club members but please bring a food bank donation.
Update September 16: Unfortunately the forced refresher training has been cancelled.

September is right around the corner and that means time for our annual fly-in! Check out the fly-in tab or click the poster for more info.
