Mowing \u2013 Raed sent a sympathy card on behalf of the club to Alvin Lee\u2019s family. Alvin\u2019s son will take over mowing at the Oviedo college field. The Christmas field is scheduled for mowing by the county in mid-September. The runway area needs mowing but the whole area is too wet.<\/p>\n
FSS#4 \u2013 Held successfully at Kenny World in Ocala with moderate turnout each day. Combining winch and ALES launches worked well.<\/p>\n
Storage container \u2013 Raed is still searching for a suitable container but decent items are hard to find at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n
Field shelter \u2013 Research is ongoing and will include carport type shelters.<\/p>\n
F3J World Championships raffle \u2013 The club won a Mystique electric sailplane in this raffle. We will consider offering as a Tangerine raffle prize.<\/p>\n
