Hello All

The Light Aeroplane Club of Trinidad and Tobago subsequent to its last closure in 1995 was struck of the companies register of T&T. The club was re-incorporated in 2006 by Alfred Bell owner of Sun Islands Aviation Limited. The "club" at this point in time consist of private aircraft owners with an interest to get this institution going again. The club has no contitution or bank account etc at this time.

An interim committee was set up in Janurary of 2012 to examine the possibilities and start work on rules / consitution etc for the club. the interim committee conprised President Charles Carvalho, Vice President Alfred Bell, Treasurer Neil Mohammed, Secretary Ishta Rampersad and officers Sheldon Rampersad, Dirk Barnes, Vijay Persad and Jose Vasques.

The committee has been meeting monthly and workign on various projects. We have identified areas we intend to focus on: rules/constitution,legal status of the club, membership (aviation professionals and enthusiast), working with TTCAA and AATT on protocols / regulations for the club and its operations, promoting GA in the country and creating GA links with neighbouring islands.

There are draft rules and constitution to be ratified and discussions are to commence shortly with the relevant regulatory entities with respect to the club. Membership currently consist of data collection. Interested persons can join the facebook group and are added to our mailing list. There are not many activities for member at this time but that will change in the near future when memership is formalised. We have had persons contact us through the ICAD Expo 2011 at the new TTCAA facility. A couple of these persons went on a recent trip with us to Martinique for the Martinique Airshow 2012.

Those interested in assisting with rebuilding this stalwart of avaition in T&T please feel free to join the facebook group and more importantly email us at [email protected]

Your input is invaluable and welcome!!!
