ACA Council Reunion Lunch
Six former ACA Council members along with their ladies attended the annual lunch at the RAF Club on Friday the 4th October 2019.
Sir Chris Coville presided over a splendid meal, wine and a few gin & tonics. The conversation spread over a wide subject matter including the latest RAF news.
John Goodsir and Jack Broughton covered the activities of the A3T, which is likely to cease ops at the end of this financial year in June 2020.
The A3T Trustees, John Goodsir, Graham Pitchfork, Ray Flack and Jack Broughton, have decided to disperse most of the remaining funds to procure flying experiences for the young in the name of the A3T.
To this end they have sponsored the purchase of 10 flying scholarships from the RAFA at a rate of 2 per annum at a cost of £25,000. See response letter from RAFA CEO.
In similar fashion John Goodsir has arranged for The Air League to provide glider flying experience seminars (value £15,000) for a range of young people at Lasham Surrey & Barnsley South Yorkshire.
Those attending wish to extend their best wishes to colleagues from the ACA Council and agreed to meet for a return match in October 2020.
