HMAC’s June 2020 Flight Lines Newsletter is now online and ready to read under the “Newsletters” Tab of our web page http://www.hamiltonmac.org.nz/.

Still playing it safe under Covid level 2, we have decided not to hold our June Club Night Meeting which was scheduled for Wednesday 10th June. Therefore our June club night is CANCELLED.

The good news though, at this point we fully expect to have monthly Club Nights back up and running in July…watch this space.
