Congratulations CASA
The nice folk at CASA have sent my Aero Club some posters on the new random drug and alcohol testing. My club has one plane, one pilot, and a small club house. CASA knows this. How many posters did we get?
What in the flying duck are we supposed to do with 20 posters CASA?
We have enough to wallpaper the whole tea room I think.

TWENTY.

One would think that CASA would have the information at hand, as being the regulator who would have issued the Aero Club with its AOC, which would have the only aircraft listed on it. Sounds like a lack of communication to me.

The word Club usually infers more than one person. I would suggest that CASA may have sent 20 posters for some of the other club member pilots to take home. I am pretty sure CASA actually have no idea how many members your club has, or how many of those members are pilots. 
If you feel so incensed at receiving so many posters, and they are not required, send them back to CASA and suggest they pass them along to a bigger club.

Dog One has it: We have an AOC, one chief pilot, & various CASA reps have been here recently.
Yes we have members, but as far as members taking posters home - yep like that's gunna happen. Imagine - the choice between a poster of "Miss August" (or "Mr." - if that's your thing) on the wall of the garage/lounge/study, or a CASA "here, pee in this" poster.

Look at it from the CASA department viewpoint. You ask for a budget of $XX+30% to do an education campaign, thinking that if it is approved, the number will be knocked down by 30% to the amount you want. Some numbskull approves the entire amount. Now you have to spend it all because it's an administrative nightmare and a black cross against your name to hand any back.
Some of you just don't get it do you.
CASA orders X number of packages of posters from the printers probably based on the number of AOC's out there. These arrive prepackaged with 20 posters in each unit, because the printers have machines which can do that.
Somewhere along the line a mailing label is thrown on it and off they go to the recipients. Maybe they are labeled and sent direct from the printers. Do you really want to pay CASA to have the people in place to go down the list of AOC's, determine a good number of posters for each AOC, unpackage the posters, count the posters, repackage the posters and mail the posters?
The fecking posters probably cost a few cents each, get over it and worry about the bigger picture.
