 This year, the Committee proposes an interesting change of venue for the SAC Annual Dinner, which will be held on Friday 12th March at the Murrayshall House Hotel, near Scone.
This attractive hotel and golf course complex is only a couple of miles from Perth Airport - their website can be found at: www.murrayshall.com
A map and directions can be found by clicking here: Map to Murrayshall House Hotel
The evening's schedule will commence with drinks from 19:00, and with a delicious three-course meal plus coffee being served at 19:45. After the dinner, a selection of sought-after club trophies will be awarded to the bold and the hardy for aviation related achievements during 2009.
For the carnivores amongst us the mouth-watering menu on offer is:
- Chilled Galia melon with purple poached fig, Parma ham and Port wine syrup
- Roast breast of chicken filled with locally produced haggis on a caramelised onion mash and a café au lait sauce
- Date and toffee pudding with caramel sauce and clotted cream ice cream
- Coffee
If you require a veggie option the alternative starter and main course are:
- Smoked cheddar and cauliflower twice-baked soufflé with mache salad and chive cream
- Vine tomato and red onion tart tatin with Mozzarella cheese and aged Balsemic
The meal price is £25 per head and guests pay for their own drinks.
Tickets can be purchased online from the SAC Online Shop or from Alan Houghton in the clubhouse. Please purchase your tickets as early as possible so that we can finalise numbers with the hotel. Members wishing to attend MUST purchase their tickets by 10th March at the latest. Please support this enjoyable and convivial annual event, which has been successfully running for many years. New club members are particularly welcome!
See you there!

“I spend half my life explaining to the Brits that I’m not an American and the other half explaining to the Americans that I’m not a Brit.”
So says Dave McElroy, a native Canadian and organiser of the SAC’s first flying experience on the left side of the Atlantic.
Dave goes on to explain the premise of this unique opportunity....
"Some SAC members have asked me questions about Canada, for instance:-
Q What’s the weather like in Canada?
A As the 2nd largest country in the world and at about twice the size of Europe, Canada comprises at least a dozen distinct climactic zones. These vary from rain forest, to arctic tundra, to desert, to temperate forest - and many more. In summertime, the weather on any given day can range from +38C to +10C, whereas in winter the spread could be as extreme as from +12C to -50C, depending on what part of the country one happens to be on a given day.
Q Is it true what they say - that Canadians are reasonably polite, easy to understand and, well – just like “unarmed Americans?”
A Good question.
Why not join in on this unique expedition - and find out yourself the answers to these questions - and many more?
