As some of you know last race meet also doubled as the Annual General Meeting for Launceston R/C
A number of issues were discussed, amongst which were the change of computer software and increase in race fees.
Since the inception of the club we have Purchased, run and upgraded a couple of versions of Alycat race software, an Australian designed piece of software. However recently development and support of that product were discontinued. As such the committee looked at transitioning to a new software package used elsewhere called Livetime. This product is more stable, and more logical to use, at the cost of a little automation that Alycat had. The other downside is cost. Whereas the version of Alycat we had was a one time fee, Livetime works on a subscription basis where you pay by the month, or more cost effectively, by the year.
To help offset this fee the committee examined increasing race fees from $10 for the first class, to $15 for the first class for members. We looked at other clubs around the country and many were $10 for the first class, others $20 and higher. Given that we have to pay rent for each race night, and the added fee from Livetime, the committee decided that would be the most effective method to continue to cover our costs. This was put to a vote at the agm, along with the decision to move to Livetime permanently (after the trial at the state titles). This motion was unanimously carried.
As such the change to the race fees begin from this week, as will our use of Livetime. The prices are as below:
Other items discussed at the agm were
Office bearers for the coming year were also elected as follows:
Congratulations to the new committee, and lets look forward to another great year!

Launceston R/C would like to thank everybody who competed in the 2019 Tasmanian State Titles, and congratulate the winners of the various classes.
For Full results follow the links below to Live RC.
We also offer our most sincere thanks to our sponsors, Hearns Hobbes and Launceston Toyota, without whom the event would have been impossible to run.
For those that want to see some “In Car” footage from the weekend look no further than some of the footage shot in conjunction with Southern Cross news who came along for a look at Friday practice.
We were also fortunate to have the examiner visit as well
We also need to thank David Olding from Grid Graphics for the event bumper stickers that he printed up for the event. Each entrant should have one so if you missed out see a committee member, otherwise extras are available for purchase.
OK we are back into the club racing once again after what would seem a successful State Title, well done to all involved.
As normal gates open 5pm racing starts 7pm the BBQ will be ago and tea and coffee will be available.
And just a reminder if you are in need of new tiers the club will have them available to purchase. So if you want to stay at the pointy end of the field get your new rubber
Hope to see you all there for some good fun and shoulder to shoulder racing
