IF you have no idea what to do, increase the paperwork and it will at least look as if you are doing something. It will improve aviation safety as there will be less people bothered to commit aviation. Nev

It was evident from one of the presentations at Natfly that some in RAA Admin will proudly drive RAA to a position of world leadership in Recreational Administration.

Sounds great, eh, and CASA will be so pleased.

But this is actually code for a creeping, slimy, rotting cancer towards GA thinking, more paperwork and more losses of what Recreational Aviation was and is actually all about .................. and RAA needs to be very careful of the knock-on effects.

But we'll be a world leader .............. so HURRAH.

However, as I have said before, perhaps keep an eye on the size of the member's market as a direct measure of how much the membership endorses this.

"I know, and they grow them up in the foothills behind Coughs&Splutters" added Andy sadly, then became morose and added "How could a person ever stand for a responsible Board position after getting a reputation for filling a hat, just because of a few MM's."

"Does Madge Mallard give you the squirts too, Andy" asked the Twelve Incher who hadn't been following the story too closely.

Tubb,

As per a previous comment, I'll accept that Cheese Cutters may be regarded as roughly equivalent to an Armco W barrier that does not extend all the way to the ground, but I do not accept that they are better for motorcyclists that a W Armco barrier that does not have a gap below it.

Of course, if you hit one (or anything else) at the wrong angle they can all kill you.

My Aunt just wrote me a letter from her garden which was very complimentary of Defence Attorney Turdbro's mitigation explanation of Blank Page on another thread. "Wow" she said in francais 'Is there anything that the TurdBoy can't do?"

20/20 hindsight is nothing special, Keith, although it might get you a free beer as a guru up there at your drinking hole.

But at least Rod did give it a go, & perhaps your comment about the previous President may even be the very reason behind why there is a new one.

BREAKING NEWS ................... BREAKING NEWS ............................ BREAKING NEWS

Knowing what passionate monarchists the Welsh are, for Bob's sake I felt compelled to break into the NES with the latest, just in from one of my mates at Scotland Yard, following a fracas in Knightsbridge last night where some Greek bloke got glassed ..................

....... a Patti Page concert.

"Wow, Patti is HOT" said Andy "Give me a couple of tickets".

Then he realised that the concert was actually just AhLox dressed up doing a Patti page impersonation, complete with kiss curls, with Tubb as a paunchy Liberace."

I would just like to thank Jim and Ross for contributing in this thread.

It would have been unheard off 18 months ago for a member of the Executive and another Board member to be keeping members informed in this way. All RA Aus members should always bear that in mind ...... & the organisation is much the better for it.

It has always been a fact of life that employees move on, no matter how senior is their position. I thought Mark Clayton was a terrific GM and the job that he took on & did was larger and harder than almost all RA Aus members realise, but RA Aus must now look on his departure as an opportunity. It is an opportunity to identify & install someone even better, after all, RA Aus now has an Executive and Board that are way better than they used to be, so RA Aus has made real progress since the EGM.

I'd argue that the disrepute occurred when the skeleton was hidden in the cupboard, not when the "Tada!" event occurred that dragged it kicking and screaming back out!!! Its hard to argue that a regulator ensuring we are complying with the regulations is bringing us into disrepute.......
