Committee

Management Committee

The club's Rules of Association provide that a Committee of Management be elected each year at an Annual General Meeting. The 2020 AGM was held on 26 September 2020 at 11 am at the Club House, with eighteen members in attendance.

The meeting resulted in a new Committee of Management for the 2020/2021 year: Most of the 2018/2019 committee were returned with the noted exceptions of the Secretary Ken Pidcock, Treasurer Bryan Clements and Committee Member Liz Clements. On the other hand we welcome two new members in Basil Crayford and Matt Poole both of whom are Full (Pilot) Members.

The committee's main responsibility is the operation of the club's affairs, and must report annually to ASIC. An executive of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer is supported by several other club members acting as committee members. Local CASA Designated Medical Examiners are ex-officio members of the committee.

The 2020 Annual General Meeting resulted in the following office bearers being elected:

Ken is in his third term as President of OAC, and operates McCormack Barber real Estate. He flies a Piper Archer.
John's main role will now be managing the club's finances. He flies an Archer 3.

A retired surgeon, Stuart's special area of interest is the Aeromedical Transfer Centre. He flies a Piper Archer and a Jabiru 160.
