- Met with attorney who advised that we need to replace our old bylaws with those written for a corporation. These new bylaws should not contain hang gliding specific rules.

SR will edit rules and pass on to tech team for posting on web.

- New 5 year SUA being worked on with GGNRA, Jessica will make presentation to management in near future.

- Clubhouse Manager- Charlie still in NZ, contact SR with any issues.
There have been some incidents in the clubhouse with unidentified gliders being in the wrong spaces. These rogue gliders make it very hard to sort out problems so every glider needs to have the owners name on it per the Clubhouse rules!

- Safety Officer- John Simpson had told SR since many new pilots now have their H-3 rating, old H-2 issues are not happening any more.

- Training Bowl Director- Tom Jensen had told SR he is prepared to do low profile grooming, Contact Tom about work party.
