This would gain our group and the hobby some much needed exposure. Jim Foster made motion for David to attend and inquire about future possibilities, seconded by Michael Moore. Motion passed.
President (Mike Asbury) discussed our current trailer tower being outside in the elements and possible damage to wiring etc, being in the weather. Mike offered to take the trailer to his shed and go thru all the wiring and lighting, as well as any mechanical items and replace/repair as needed. That way the tower trailer would be in tip top shape should the need arise that we would need to deploy it. David Mills made the motion for Mike to proceed, motion was seconded by QRM (too much background noise). voted on and passed. The following members offered their assistance if needed on the project.
