Hey folks,

We are needing four more people in the Service class and five more for the Maintenance class. Deadline is 4 May 2018 or we'll have to cancel. 

Nobody wants that!

Thanks for the heads-up Keith. I can't afford to get away for the 912 class.  However, the 2-smoke class would definietly be worth my while and I would commit should you be hosting one in the future.  I'm acquainted with a few A&P's in the valley; I'll notify them you're looking to fill this class straightaway.

Thanks,

Paul

Thanks, Paul. I'll look into that as I could use the class as well now that we have a running 2-stroke...er, at least it ran 15- 20 years ago.

I spoke with Dean yesterday and he's having to bump up our "no later than date" to the 2nd of May vice the 4th. If the enrollment doesn't take off this weekend...

In regards to a 2-stroke class, Dean informed that the usual number of annual requests for that class are about...six. So if you can get a committed group of enthusiasts and make it economically feasible to hold the class here in Virginia, that's the only way it's going to happen.

I also forgot to mention that you can call 540-453-2215 and get signed up for the class vice going through the college system and applying. I highly recommend the former.

I'm happy to report that we have met the minimum number of enrolled students and the Service and Maintenance classes are a GO!. 

There are still seats available, so if you find yourself with the extra time and money to attend we'd be thrilled to see you!

Bumping the post for 2019. We currently have 5/Service and 4/Maintenance signed up. We need a minimum of six for each class, so if you're seriously considering taking the class it's best to sign up now.
