Cones at pedestrian trail discussed.

Promotion of HG at Funston was discussed, possibility of installation of a interactive sign on the deck.

GGNRA review discussed, signage. Pilot / pedestrian etiquette identified as a top priority. All pilots are encouraged to discourage buzzing of pedestrians, and that we are all ambassadors to the public for our sport.

Mark Mullholland discussed enhancing the air races, possibly getting sponsors, raising funds for prize money and donation to charity. Patrick and Dave will help him to find sponsors, and to work on preliminary organization.

Site intro video was discussed, Dave, Van, Joe, Chris will continue to work on it.

Van brought up the fact that Tom Rust still owes the Fellow Feathers $400. Consensus was that Tom Rust should pay the club back these funds.

Van also requested an additional picnic table for the set up area. GGNRA liaison will check to see if it can be provided.

Tracey announced that at the February meeting some bylaw changes will be proposed and discussed.

Ad space for Mike Jefferson was discussed, a motion was put forward to rent him the space, seconded, passed unanimously.

This years stickers will be put in the safe keeping of specific pilots for safe keeping.
