Management Committee

The club's Rules of Association provide that a Committee of Management be elected each year at an Annual General Meeting. The 2022 AGM was held on 15 April 2023 at the Club House.

The meeting resulted in a return of the previous committee with the exception of Adam White. On the other hand we welcome new member Lucas Blashki, who is a Full (Pilot) Member.

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.

Some of the current Committee Members:

Ken is in his fifth term as President of OAC, and is a real estate agent and developer. He flies a Piper Archer.
