Joker,
"The issue is not about Instructors nor individual employees, It is about a management structure that went horribly wrong and convinced themselves that the Commercialisation of the enterprise was more important than the rights or opinions of the members who had put them there and had really funded the development of the "Taj Mahal"
Nothing new in this, it destroyed the Newcastle Aero Club in the late 60's/early 70's contributed to the down fall of the RQAC in the 80's and totlly destroyed the Royal Club at Bankstown ( Scofields )."
Could not agree with you more!
WHERE TO FROM HERE???
I think that the mindset of the current CEO and committee is to leave the past right there...in the past.
There are some exciting things happening at the moment so we are lead to believe....I wish that the current "management" would just come out and tell it as it is in regards to the way forward, other than they have to come up with $1.2m by end of June 2011.
At the EGM it was announced that the Chippie has gone...but is still at the club...the new owner has left it on-line - a bloody hero as far as the club is concerned. Confirmed on the night at $77k plus GST.
I have seen it in the hangar recently, it hasn't moved from its prominent place.
The Tiger(s) are still there, the Partnavia and 2 mooney's are for sale, along with the 182rg and 2 cessna 172's? ( I may be wrong on the cessnas). I think only 1 tiger is for sale???? NOT SO SURE WHICH ONE - I doubt the "Shirley Adkins" as she is a relatively new ship and is the name sake of the "adkins", LIFE members.(rightly so).
It was also announced on the night that there are 42....yes 42 aircraft that belong to RACWA, sitting there!
The other assets are sitting there doing nothing. The CEO announced, sort of, that there is interest on the sale of Murrayfield....who to? There are 6 interests that are in "conversation" with RACWA...his words!
There is an ad campaign starting soon - no details available as needed to be kept hush hush??? not sure why - the CEO did say he was getting it done "with no funds".
I must say...I have a lot of faith in the CEO...perhaps not so much in the new Pres! The NEW treasurer seems to have the enthusiasm, and the ability...I only hope they are not thwarted by the evil ways of the old culture!
If Murrayfield has to go....so be it! Get out of the S$%T, MOVE ON and get a committee with new rules and policies so that we don't fall into the same hole again!
