Hello Ppruner's
Hello,
I have just completed reading the entire post on the
"NEWCASTLE AEROCLUB". I must admit that everyone
has written some very interesting posts.
I feel very sorry for all the members of the club, which
has a very proud history.
I would like to let all of you know where I stand at the moment.
Late october early november I recieved phone calls from
a few people commenting on the aero club's position.
I really did'nt know what to think and just merely listened
until the last few weeks where I started to get invovled.
I don't want to go into detail I will merely let you all know
what my idea's are and plan of attack.
I contacted the administrator's lastweek and had a brief discussion with Mr Potts. He had given me an outline of
what he had to do before he could entertain a proposal
from myself. On friday I spoke with Linda farnish who now
seems the person in charge of proceedings.
I will send linda on monday a
1. Business plan
2. financial statement
I feel very strongly about the takeover bid for the "aero club"
as I would like the idea of having a school in the UK.
It ALSO gives me the excuse to go there so I can watch my
favorite team MANCHESTER UNITED.
Basically I would like to take over the club and run it as a club
and my objective is to take care of my members. I will also
like to take the club to a full FTO status,ie commercial etccccc.
I also will export depending on demand aircraft to the UK,
increasing the fleet to at least 10 aircraft.
This has been a difficult situation for me as well as all the
members of the club,although their are certain legal mountains
to jump. With the club going into administration it has removed
all liability, which is great.
I have asked for several documents to be sent to my office
on monday upon that I will make an offer on 3 to 4 of the clubs
existing aircraft.Once I have agreed the price's on the aircraft I then need to discuss the biggest hurdle "THE LEASE". I HOPE that everyone understands this as it would be not good business
sense to takeover the club if I can't have a fair lease.
Linda farnish said on friday that "she has spoken to the airport"
regarding this issue.
So really gents, I am waiting to dicuss these two area's before
I arrive into the UK at the end of the week.
I have planned to arrive at the club late thursday or early
friday to meet with the administrators.
I will keep you all up to date of proceddings BUT until then
lets just see what they hit me with.
All I want is somethink fair for everyone, and those of you that do know me can understand that.
Regards
Elia Golfin
