MALTA AERO MODEL SHOW – INTERNATIONAL 2008
I reckon that by now the news has spread that the two associations have come together this year with the great idea of organizing the annual open day together with the event taking place alternately at the two flying sites.
It was decided that this year the first event will be held at the Ta’Qali site and a committee was set up to organize the event. The committee is made up of seven members with me appointed by both associations as the chairman. The members are Patrick Azzopardi, Brian Busuttil, Brian Calleja, Philip Chircop, Mario Micallef and Victor Psaila.
Work has already begun with the invitations being sent to all the constituted bodies, sponsors and foreign flyers.
We are in advanced discussions with two well known flyers, Sebastiano who needs no introduction to the island and Ali Machinchy, well known for his fabulous jet flying. Other flyers and groups have been contacted and are being contacted as I write this article.
The aim of the committee is to set a standard for future events with the name chosen for the event reflecting the intended exposure that we are working towards. The name has also been chosen to allow for other events to be organized where the Malta Aero Model Show will remain unaltered whilst the International 2008 could be changed to Jets 2009 or even Scale 2009 and so on.
As always it is important to mention that the organizing committee will require all the help it can muster from any member that wishes to lend a hand. I will publish a full list of post holders that will be required and I urge you all to put forward your names when this is required. In the meantime we would also welcome any suggestions of companies we might benefit from in the form of sponsorships that you might then follow through yourselves. Anyone wishing to contribute in any way is to contact Henri on henri@portellimalta.net.
We are convinced that together as one body of enthusiasts we will succeed in placing Malta on the international calendar of events.
