With the upcoming zone meetings and recent discussions related to the safety code, perhaps we should examine the document and toss around some changes. Maybe we can get a few resolutions before the board.

6. I will not intentionally fly over an active public thoroughfare.
Without any form of a definition of "active public thoroughfare", we have provided an insurance loophole you could drive a liberal election bus through. By that def, every hwy, road, trail, path or farmers field where someone rides a horse once in a while is off-limits. I've seen a number of clubs where the road in passes off the end of one of the runways, which excludes them from following the safety code. I believe this is one that should be removed and allow the clubs to make their own rules related to their geography.
