It is official, NZAWA are members of the Aviation Federation where representatives of our aviation community have a communal voice to CAA and our Government. The first meeting takes place 23 April in Wellington and Pip Schofield will represent our Executive and Association.

Fellow Members: Our Association has volunteered our time distributing Warbirds over Wanaka posters and brochures within Wanaka, Wellington and Auckland areas prior to the 2012 and 2014 air shows. In return for our effort to assist Warbirds over Wanaka, the benefit to NZAWA is the booth space allocated comes to us with an $800 saving!

Hello Members and Happy New Year!
May 2015 be a discovery and challenge for you… it keeps you on your toes!

Spring is here, and with it the best and worst of Winter and Summer! As I write this it is a spectacular day in Gisborne – better keep this short and enjoy the sunshine!

From receiving emails the last couple of weeks and reading the last newsletter it looks like a fantastic rally was had in Dargaville this year! (made me a bit jealous! first one I have missed in about 5 years) A massive thanks to Jo and her helpers for organising. Looking forward to the team at Hastings having us next year.

Another Rally done! Firstly, a huge THANKS has to go out to Jo and all her Dargaville team for putting on a fantastic weekend! It was great to see so many people made the effort to come North.

While it is raining here in Gisborne and is so cold it feels like it should be snowing, I know the upper North Island is basking in sunshine. I hope that all of you are having a fantastic time at the Rally (which I’m sure you are!)
