Report on 6th March club meeting
A good turnout of members assembled at the Royal British Legion to discuss the major topic on the agenda.
This was whether the club should invest in the refurbishment of the existing and purchase of a new banner. The proposal was that the existing banner be refurbished with the addition of the web address and QR code. Also correction of the club name from Dunfermline Model Aeroplane Club to Model Aero Club. The new banner would be identical. A unanimous decision was made in favour of the proposal and Bill Greive offered to investigate whether funding would be available from the Carnegie Trust. After the formal business members continued with much aeromodelling craic.
Funding has been successfully obtained, the banners are made and one will be on display at the Kingdom Centre Glenrothes on Saturday 28 March.

The buying and selling page has been added to the members forum and there is something on offer.

Marchetti Shield Presented
Marchetti Shield Presented
At the beginning of the recent club meeting chairman Iain Ward announced that the Marchetti Shield for the clubman of the year was to be awarded that evening. This trophy is awarded to the member who has made a notable non competition contribution to club life. It had been decided that the work on resurrecting the web site was just such a contribution and so the shield was to be awarded to a very surprised webmaster (David Hambley).
In accepting the shield David thanked the club and acknowledged the great help provided by his son Michael throughout this flight of discovery. Pictured below is David with Michael who won the shield as a junior in 1994
