While some events are still tentative, the VSA generally tries to make full use of all weekends between April and October, especially the 6 long weekends which occur almost once a month.

With excellent facilities at the clubhouse many members camp over at the club on long weekends and enjoy the peace and fresh air of Hope.

The following dates have been earmarked:

January 30th GM (Discuss 2016 Budget & Fees).

March 25th Good Friday Hangar Raising!
26th Intro Flights
