GOLD MONKEY! GOLD MONKEY! So what are we talking about here?  We're talking field boundary rules, and we need to work together to police ourselves!
	At the last couple of regular club meetings, there was discussion of the need to ensure we all stay within the flight boundaries designated for our field.  When we fly outside our boundaries, we run the risk of increased liabilities and personal hazards. But nobody flies outside the designated boundaries, right? ? ?   Well, we might all admit we do sometimes - even if it's unintentional.  So in the spirit of policing ourselves, the club agreed to adopt a policy we call "Gold Monkey!" Here's how it works: The next time you observe someone flying outside the boundaries, just holler up loud and clear:  "Gold Monkey!"   Upon hearing that funny phrase, all pilots currently having planes in flight should voluntarily check their own flight patterns and bring their birds in line. The idea is to not single anyone out, suffer embarassment, or invite scorn.  Let's use this call-out in the spirit intended, and work together to avoid situations that put our club, our AMA license, and ability to fly at the fairgrounds in the future.  One bad incident is too many, and it could shut us down! Comments????  Write your webmaster and I'll pass your note along. . . Need to take a good look at the boundaries?  They're posted at the field!!!
