I finally had a few minutes to sit down and read the May Model Aviation Magazine that came while I was away on course, for all those that are local here is a real tidbit. The MAAC AGM will be held in Halifax next year around Mid April 2017. I have never had the ability to attend one and I'm certainly marking this one on my calendar to attend.

Now, how much money is MAAC spending on airfare and hotels, meals, etc for exec, vice a simple video conference?

Having attended numerous conferences and video conferences, there's a lot to be said about face to face meetings. Not sure what the charter calls for in terms of meetings in regions across Canada

It's the 21st century. These are the guy who sent all their executive to Europe for a week, on our dime, to talk about Aerobatic competitions that we don't even do in Canada anymore. I'd rather they focused their attention and money on things we do need, like education programs to entice younger folks to try out the hobby. Otherwise, we'll simply fade into non-existence.

Sounds like an agenda item for the 2017 AGM

It's been fought many times in the past, I've seen discussions about it all over RCC, also the big money scandal, piles of money going missing, paycheques to people for work they didn't do, etc. It caused the resignation of the MAAC President about 3 years ago, but they've kept things pretty quiet ever since.
