YES, the Youth and Education Branch of the LAA is looking for a new Secretary and additional volunteers.
Typical tasks involve manning the aircraft that YES takes to shows to show young people around, as well as helping demonstrate build techniques, talking about possible careers in aviation and visiting Scout groups to help instruct for the aviation themed badges.
YES volunteer Leia Fee explains, “Members have a lot of fun while really getting to open people’s eyes to the possibilities of flight and do a bit for the future of flying, changing the minds of the locals about the airfield – from ‘that noisy place where rich so-and-sos play with their toys’ to ‘that place my kids had a brilliant time that day!'”
Leia added, “Volunteers help the generate goodwill and secure the future of the sport, have a load of fun with the like minded and inspire the next generation all at once!”
