At the first formal club meeting this week, Launceston R/C was officially constituted!  After a highly successful three month trial the meeting agree unanimously to form a club and continue with our goal of organising regular, high quality R/C racing in the Launceston area.

The decisions made by the meeting include:

• independent club to be formed and established as incorporated association
• club to be affiliated with Tasmanian Model Makers and Collectors Association Inc
• racing to continue at Rutherglen as per the 2010 schedule published at this website (2nd and 4th Thursday nights)
• priorities for track improvements include driver’s stand, track markers, reversing current layout, safe spectator areas, improved lighting
• priorities for the club include professionally run race meetings, welcoming and friendly atmosphere, and good quality competition
• club memberships will be offered, with membership applications opening soon

Many thanks go to all those who have already contributed a great deal to get the club up and running. We’re excited about the future and the potential for this R/C club.

A committee was formed to continue to provide governance and oversight for the club. Committee members are:

• President: Paddy Hume
• Secretary: Scott Guyatt
• Treasurer: Andrew & Richard Green
• Track Coordinator: Chris Brickwood
• Sponsorship/Marketing Coordinator: Steve Willis
• General Committee Members: Ian Scott & Sam Wells

A track maintenance and development team to work with Chris was also appointed and includes Rodney Houghton, Graham Viney, James Atkinson and Taylor Barwick.
