PILOTS NEWS BULLETIN


• IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PILOTS: Mobile and wi-fi coverage in the Northam Area is somewhat limited. In this particular Agricultural Region the most reliable reception is with the two major Carriers, Telstra and Optus. As the recall procedure and other important information will need to be conveyed by txt message, Pilots are advised to ensure that their mobile phones are Telstra and Optus compatible.

• UPDATE: The ABF and the Northam Nationals Organisers have agreed to change the style of the event from a combined Observer/Logger to a Logger only event. Further, the organisers report that they currently have in the order of 30 commenced registrations, with about 10 of these being fully completed and a further 10 awaiting minor, outstanding registration detail. Don't wait any longer.. register or finalise your registration for what will be a great event.

• SPECIAL MEMENTO: The Organizing Committee were delighted to recently view a sample of a limited-edition special memento, beautifully hand-crafted by a local Silversmith, that we are producing for Pilot participants in the Northam Event. This will be sure to be a treasured possession, a wonderful reminder of what is shaping up to be a memorable Event.
