During last night's meeting we discussed posting the agenda for future meetings at least one week in advance. I'll endeavor to make that so. We also agreed that we should strive to use the meeting time to cover topics of interest to our members. For example, task-flying and race-to-goal competitions, open-distance cross-country flying, and weather forecasting are all potential topics for future meetings.
Please use this thread to post ideas for future meeting topics, and we'll work them into an agenda for a meeting sometime this year if possible.
