Lilydale Flying Club is organising this year’s Winter Dinner. This is a very popular event that attracts a healthy number of people for a great night’s socialising with good food and wine to boot. This year’s event is on Friday 1 July at Fergusson Winery at Dixons Creek, North of Yarra Glen. Fergusson is owned and operated by LFC members Louise Fergusson and Jock Folan. Fergusson Winery has a terrific atmosphere with a beautiful open fire and a spit roast to die for! And there might be a wine or too hanging around as well.

Yarra Valley Aviation Open Day

/in /by

Sat  30Th April was an open day at Lilydale Airport.

The purpose was to encourage young potential pilots to come out and see what its all about. Flying for a career was highlighted with a large group of professional pilots present as well as recreational pilots ,all ready to talk about aviation. Aircraft were on display and Hangar tours were run. There was representation from our club as well as AWPA. and a large contingent of instructors who spoke to every guest that arrived

The event was a success I believe, and perhaps can be run yearly. With further advertising a larger audience could easily be attracted and catered for.
