Classified Ads

Posted on by adminD

While browsing the new website, you may have seen that we have a classifieds section for members to utilise.

Only members can add or edit and advert but any visitor to the website can view the ads.

When replying to an ad, the enquirer will not get to see your email details but a form will send you an email about the enquiry.

Feel free to add an advert if you have something to sell, swap, give away or indeed if you are looking for something to buy.

At this point however, the section that allows us to include pictures in the ad isn’t working correctly. As the Admin I do however have the capacity to add the pictures so, if you complete an ad, just email me any pictures (my email address is in my profile) and I will include them into the ad.

 

Happy Selling

Vic Scale Trophy @ TCMAC

Posted on by adminD

Well a bit of a disappointing weekend overall with low numbers in attendance.

We had 3 members compete with 2 bringing home the bacon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to Rob Sargent on winning and Chris Henry on coming second.

Congratulations also goes out to Alwyn Brunton on his first scale comp. The smile on his face summed up the weekend for everyone.

Despite a poor attendance (even by our own members) those that were there had a great weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The weather started off  a little average but, as Saturday afternoon went on, it became quite nice with some very good scores by the local crew.

In the end the two rounds flown on Saturday stood as Sundays round was cancelled due to some Melbourne pilots not being able to stay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some great social flying was done on Sunday.

A big thanks to the Victorian Flying Scale Aircraft Association for bringing their competition to our club and,  hopefully, next year they will return and more entries are received.

This event, held annually at the TCMAC field, is held in memory of Craig Coleman. Craig was a long-standing member of TCMAC who died suddenly 8 eight years ago.
