plenty of highlights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During the last year there have been many upgrades of the club&#8217;s on-site facilities, as well as many hours of pleasant flying and socialising, plus the odd crash to keep us on our toes and give us some rebuilding experience,&#8221; John said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We welcomed new members Errol and Jake Sanderson and Garry Jordan this year, and our membership now sits at a healthy 17.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>John also listed the projects completed over the past 12 months:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Further refining of the bows on the shade cloth pit
