All in the family

The MAAA want to help our clubs so that members enjoy their

sport and the camaraderie of their community more. We want

members to get more out of their membership as well as

stay with your club longer. There is an enormous amount of

knowledge withinin our clubs about what you can do to give your

members the best experience.

Ways tohelpyourmembersgetmoreout of

• Family, social events are a great way to welcomemember’s

families to our flying community so they not only

understand the sport but will feel more inclined to come

down to the club and get involved when possible.

• There is an enormous amount of knowledge in the MAAA

community, so why not utilise that expertise and bounce

ideas off other clubs to see what works for them. If you’ve

got a great story, share it with us, and we’ll publish it.

• Weekend workshops and flight training are a great way for

members to improve their skills.

Next Steps to take:

• There are pilots out there who for health,

physical or financial stresses cannot

continue their joy of flying. Clubs may be

able to extend a helping hand by offering

volunteer or social memberships to

keep these pilots in the loop. They

may no longer be able to fly, but they

have a terrific amount of knowledge

and expertise that can benefit your

members, whether supporting and

educating novice pilots or helping with

current members skill development. It’s

also a great opportunity for these pilots

to continue to play an active role in their

community.
