1. CHAIRMANS REPORT

The club still continually monitors noise and forwards noise readings on an annual basis to Clackmannan District Council. I am happy to report that we have not received any complaints or contact from the Environmental Health Dept for the past two years,

I would like to thank all members for their co-operation on this noise issue over the past few years.

As in previous years, a number of club members continue to compete in SAA events, although this year has been dogged with bad weather. I am happy to report that Lew Weaver came first overall in the SAA scale event. I would on behalf of the club like to congratulate Lew on a wonderful achievement.

This year saw the club host 3 events in addition to the waterplane events held yearly at Mill Dam. These were held at Blairdrummond and were well attended by club members with some interest from other clubs. They all went fairly well with the weather being kind to us for a change
