Last week we received the final set of plans for the new clubhouse from the engineers and today we entered the approvals phase of the project with the formal submission of the Development Application and plans with Singleton Council. It’s expected to take about 4 weeks to gain council approval. After today you can follow the progress of the application via the link from the Singleotn Council’s web site: http://portal.singleton.nsw.gov.au/eplanning/Common/Common/Terms.aspx

Funding from the ANZ bank has been approved and is available once we start construction. Construction is expected to begin 3 weeks after approval.

June and July have been very busy at the club with lots of construction underway. And we haven’t even started the new clubhouse yet!
Dave’s hangar now has a full concrete floor…

Damian drove the bobcat.

Mick and Aa Li have been building “Aa Li’s Bar & Grill” as an annex to their caravan.


It has already been christened with a Hogwa party.

Along with the christening, there was also a batism, or more accuately, a Mictism. Cameron got some chilli in his eye and Mick helped him wash it out.

Dave’s caravan has a new roof…

Mark kept himself warm by the fire while dreaming about summer cross-country distances.

Then there was even some flying, with some absolutely beautiful weather on the first Saturday in July. It started out cold and blowing hard, with lenticulars forming to the east. During the middle of the day the wind died and the thermals went to more than 6000ft.
