The YSA computer system (FAS) will continue to be down, for updates, but is planned to be back up before the season starts. Be aware that you may still send eTransfers to the club and if you balance covers $700+hst for Membership prior to 1st April, that will be locked in for you. Membeship after that date will be $800. All types of junior/youth memberships will remain at $250. Also, we are dropping the account numbers from FAS, just using 4-5 digit names based on christian name (e.g. TIMW for Tim Wood, DAVEW for Dave Wilson).
We always need volunteers to help out, even on non flying days, to halp a little the club will reimburse fuel costs at 10c per km for any member that does 4 hour non operational work in the course of one return trip.
During the off season, a small group of senior instructors have been reviewing all our operational procedures and manuals (e.g. tow pilot manual, members manual, training material) are being udated. Further, the Safety Officer is preparing an updated Safety Manual and our new Child Protection Officer is preparing a presentation for the AGM and YSA member guidelines.
