Tim gave a secretaries report and reported that the information on the web site is up to date (results and meeting minutes)

Gary mentioned that he would prefer to meet at the old meeting site at Anoka Airport

Old Business

Dennis reported that we are all set for the indoor season. There will be 6 indoor events, one each in November, December, January, February, March, and April. 4:45 Doors Open, 5:00 Start Flying, 9:00 Stop Flying, 9:20 must be out.

We will continue to fly Butterflys even though they are no longer available. We voted last meeting to allow carbon Butterflys in this event.

No new Business

Next month we will elect officers for the club

Some discussion about other venues for our indoor events but nothing would be as inexpensive as what we have.

Someone mentioned having our location show up on Google Maps. Tim will look into this.

Dennis will make signs for outdoor events next year.

There was some discussion about meeting time but with adding Zoom to the meetings nothing was decided to change.

Gary O. again mentioned how he would prefer having the meetings at the Anoka Airport as was previously done. No decision was made.

Show and tell:

Dennis showed a Whitman Tailwind that he had built

Jeremy showed us a Comet Pepper that he is building and also talked about the program he is working on in SQL Cloud to keep track of information about a model. Number of winds, length of run, etc.

Meeting adjourned at 1:00 pm
