Top resignations shake-up aero club
THREE directors reportedly have resigned from the Peninsula Aero Club at Tyabb. They are Michael Brooks, Robert Parker and Rolfe Summerhayes.
Brooks was vice-president of the club, and both he and Parker were members of the safety committee. Summerhayes was on special projects.
PAC president Jack Vevers confirmed their departures, saying: “Yes they did resign.” However, he would not be drawn on the reasons why except to say the men had “different views on the [club’s] safety management system”.
“They wanted to do [things] one way and we wanted to do them another way,” he said.

Photographers and artists from Studio Sorrento collaborated throughout the coronavirus lockdown, with the photography group posted about 80 photos online from which the artists could create artworks in their own style.
The coming together of the two genres led to nearly 60 works.
