Some highlights from 2020.

We are going ahead with our annual fly-in at Lake Forsyth, but restricting attendees to registered fliers (MFNZ Wings) only in order to keep the number below 100, as per government guidelines. There will not be room for public and non-fliers.
If you wish to attend you will need to pre-register with Peter Hewson (peter.a.hewson@gmail.com, or 0220884766) before Thursday evening, 27 August. Send your name, cell phone number and MFNZ number. Registration will be completed at the site. Fees are $20 for the weekend. Pilots get free tea and coffee and there will be food and drinks available for purchase. If you wish to camp at the site the City Council require that your camper is self-contained. We will have toilets at the site too.
We have a QR code for the event to aid with contact tracing, so you might like to download the app. to your phone if you have not already done so.

We will be back to almost normal with entry to public and others, less concern about social distancing etc.

Yes folks. The annual two day fun fly-in is still on at Lake Forsyth this year.
29-30 August, 9:00 – 1600 both days. NOTAM is to 1200 feet. CCC have given approval for the event providing we stick with the government regulations around COVID-19. If the country slips back to Level 2, however, we will not be including public or spectators.
