Strut Meeting - Visit to Bentwaters Cold War Museum (BCWM)
Unfortunately not enough people came forward for the Gliding evening to make it viable, therefore reluctantly this had had to cancel this. So we now have an alternative plan for the June meeting. One of the suggestions put forward earlier this year was a visit to the Bentwaters Cold War Museum (BCWM). It is while since we last went here, plus we have lots of new members join since since. It just so happens the the Ipswich Aviation Society (IAS) have a visit planned for the evening of Wed 15 June - what would be date of our normal meeting. Therefore having a joint visit would help boost numbers making it worth while for BCWM to open. If you wish to comw along then please arrange to meet in the BCWM car park at 6pm where the plan is to be split into groups, to rotate on visits to the museum and the HAS. Cost will be £10 per person.

Strut Meeting - Strut BBQ at Monewden
For the May meeting, we will be holding a STRUT MEMBERS BBQ at MONEWDEN Airfield. This will give a chance for members old & new to mix and get to know each other. Note that as this is an evening event with limited time for cooking food etc, and hopefully a good number of member will attend, this will be for Strut Members only - no partners or plus ones. Food and soft drinks will be provided by the Strut. Serving expected to start at about 6:30pm, although turn up anytime from 5:30pm onwards. Steve has agreed that those who wish to can fly-in, and for those coming by road, the entrance will be via the airfield gate (NOT the entrance for Steve's house)

Strut Meeting - Film Night
We were due to have Tim Gibson to give us a talk on "The Secrets behind the Success of The Low Cost Airlines", but unfortunatley he can not make it now, so with a bit of jiggling Tim's talk has been rescheduled for the next momths meeting on March 16th As it was a bit too short notice to arrange another speaker, it has been decided to go with one of our stop-gap ideas and have another film/video evening. The last one seemed to go down quite well and it also give us a chance to try out the audio/visual equipment in the new hall. Hopefully we will show an interesting aviation documenatry, so it won’t be an evening of just loads of “Youtube” clips! NOTE: CANCELLED due to power outage at the Village Hall and local area.
