At the AGM in October 2012 a new Board was not elected and after lengthy
legal consulting it was decided that the Board remain for 2013 as in 2012.

Our Treasurer Charles Higgins has handed the reins over to Walter Doubell –
Thanks so much Walter – and a huge thank you to Charles for his invaluable
time and for the excellent work he did Pro bono for 7 years. As a token of our
appreciation we arranged a flip in Mustang Sally with Menno Parsons –
Thanks so much Menno once again for your extreme generosity.

RAASA and ASSA are hosting a workshop on Special Events on 16 March
2013 which will cover related topics. See details below.

ASSA will however continue with our training of Safety Officers in liaison with
the SAAF – Brad Bennetts will keep all the display pilots up to date during the
year. The Board of ASSA would like to concentrate on the Event organisers
– They are the very brave individuals who willingly take on the mammoth task
of finding sponsorships and arranging airshows year after year to play a nonenviable role of assisting us to bring airshows to the very “Airshow hungry”
public of South Africa and its neighbouring countries.

In the early part of 2012 Gen Des Barker, Neil De Lange and Brad Bennetts
represented ASSA at the European Airshow Council annual Conference in
Belguim and once again affirmed the fact that our airshows are up to
International standard.

Please view our website www.airshowsa.org.za – the latest accident review
for 2012 has been uploaded to “Airshow Safety Forum” very kindly submitted
by Gen Des Barker.

2012 will be remembered for the enormous loss of our wingman Gianfranco
Cicogna but on the positive side there were no other incidents during the
year’s 19 Airshows and 5 Fly Ins.

In November 2012 we received applications for 26 Airshows for 2013 so
please keep a lookout on our website www.airshowsa.org.za which we are in
the process of renovating for the latest news and events.
We thank each one of you involved including our very valuable public for your
support.

SEE YOU AT THE NEXT SHOW!!!!!

Kind regards
