GENERAL BUSINESS:

2014 Control Line State Championships.

There was general discussion regarding the 2014 C/L State Championships. It was resolved to update the Entry form used for the 2013 Championships but to change the dates to fit in with the 2014 June long weekend (7-8-9th June). Also to change the date for closure of entries to 30/05/14.

MAAA Annual Conference May 2014.

Bruce mentioned that an item listed on the agenda of the May 2014 MAAA Conference relates to bids being sought from the State bodies to host the 2015-2016 (69th) Nationals Championships. Western Australia is the next state in line to host this event, but however, will be unable to do so that year due to the hosting of the C/L World Championships.

Following responses to an email circulated to members some weeks previously requesting input in regard to when to hold the Nationals Contests in the future (Christmas period or over Easter) , there was found to be a split result (50/50). 50% of members who responded were in favour of continuing to hold the Nationals over Christmas and 50% preferred a change to the Easter period.

Bearing this in mind, the meeting resolved that CLAS would consider placing a bid at the MAAA Conference to host the 69th Nationals (Control Line only) in Albury approximately 2 weeks after Easter in 2016. The basis for this decision was that if held over these dates it would afford persons the possibility of attending the nationals following the Victorian State Championships (if held over Easter as is normally the case), and may also enable overseas competitors attending the World Championships in Perth the opportunity to compete in our Nationals.

The proviso for CLAS to place a bid as mentioned was that volunteers from within CLAS would be required to come forward and undertake to assist in the running of events. (Aerobatics, Racing and Combat). It is therefore hoped that members interested in the various C/L disciplines will come forward and volunteer their services to enable CLAS and the MAAA adequate time to plan for the contest.

Meeting closed 9.35p.m.

Bruce Hoffmann.
