Naming of Porter Field

Sunday Nov 12th, 2000, marked another chapter in TMAC History. It was the official Field Naming Ceremony for the Club's flying field. The TMAC flying field is now officially known as "PORTER FIELD."

Kevin Dodd, TMAC president, gave an opening speech. Doug Kent gave a very well prepared speech on a short history of the club and his experiences as a long time member of TMAC.
The Porter's representative spoke person. And finally, a few important words from Councillor John Campbell....
..... as TMAC members and Porter's family listen. Then it was the official revealing of the Plaque by the Councillor and Des Porter, who survived that tragic fatal plane crash.
What a great looking plaque. Well done, TMAC committee, Allen Danvers, Will Sipma, and all involved. A very refreshing morning tea organized by the club's catering expert, Joan Anderson.
The Porter family brought this historic record along for all to appreciate.
