Safety Mnute
John Kirchstein reported that pilots frequently fly over the pits. Please keep all aircraft away flying over the pits and spectator areas. Low passes are to be done beyond the center of the runway.
Environmental
Paul Bryk suggested that everyone use an overflow container to catch fuel instead of having the fuel enter the soil. Also, there is no smoking in the pits. Cigarette buts must be discarded in the appropriate containers which are provided at the field. Tim Asbury will be replacing damaged cigarette disposal containers.
Guests in attendance included Kerry Sohl, who was a Delaware R/C Club member back in 1981-‘82.
