Message from Larry Barnes, our Field Marshall
We are scheduled to have a organized work party Saturday, 9/6 beginning at 8 am. We are intending to complete painting the pit benches at all 3 fields.  We expect to be completed by 10 am (with your cooperation). We will have additional manpower from Jeffco, however, we won’t know how many bodies we will get.  Thanks for helping out.
Note, the fields will be closed during the work party.

8/22 Weed Spraying

Posted on
FYI… we have a contractor that will be spraying the fields on 8/22 beginning at 7:30 am.  They will start at the East field and work west.
 
They have asked that there be no flying while they are spraying.  However, after they are done and vacated an area, that field will be open.
 
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Saturday 8/16 work party & field closure

Posted on
AAM members,
 
We are in need of help on a work party this Saturday.  The more people show up, the faster the work will go.  Please consider helping out if you are able.  The field will be closed to flying while the work is progressing so let’s get it done and get back to flying!

We are scheduled to have a organized work party Saturday 8/16th. We will be starting at 7:00 am and hopefully be completed by 10:am. I have a complete agenda completed so that we can be completed by 10 or 11. I am in need of a generator if you have one or know where ours is located that would be great.  We will have some people from Jeffco to work also. The problem is we won’t know how many bodies we will get. I am concentrating on painting where needed the most.
