Inter Club Rivalry With Echuca Aero Club
Very quiet lately or we haven't noticed anything get taken

It all started a few months ago with Echuca coming to our open day. They left with our clock.
We then went to Echuca and came back with one of their trophies plus their visitors book.
After this it just seems to keep happening.

Sunday 17th Feb 2013

Not sure whether all has gone quite between the 2 clubs, but we do not know of anything that was taken on the 30th Jan so we think that EAC were just full of air.
But we honestly do not know this at present.
Bruce was down there a few weeks ago and found the EAC club rooms to be accessible but because he was in his ute he did not take anything.
The EAC members were not far away and were watching.
Next roast day DAC will descend on EAC and they will not know what hit them.

Sunday 30/12/12

12 people from Echuca came up to Deni in 6 planes and as far as we know they each removed something from our club, we do not know what as yet but we have been told.

"Once again we showed deni how a team fly in works. Not one or two people in one planes. Six planes, twelve people and we all returned from deni with something from deni"

Andrew flew to Echuca and returned with a prize.

Sunday 9/12/12

It would appear once again that the Echuca boys did indeed make off with something on their last visit. One of our photos is missing and is in their clubrooms now.

Echuca at their antics again.
At least today we were safe but kerang are now missing their sign from within their clubhouse.

Sunday 25/11/2012

Echuca came back to retrieve their items from us and we are not real sure if they have taken anything or not, we have not seen any photos or ranson notes as yet.

Sunday 18/11/2012

On Sunday we arrived back at our club rooms after our trip to Wentworth and we found these items, not sure how they appeared in our club but they did.

Sunday 4/11/2012 - We visited Echuca

Today we went to Echuca retreived numerous items that had been taken from us and left with something of theirs.

But in the time between us taking their trophy and the visitors book and them coming back to retrieve the items they had visited our club and took our table. Our table is in their club rooms. Not quite sure how they got the table into an aeroplane but this is another story.

Picture
Echuca returned as shown above with a baseball bat and we had to return the goods.
BUT they then decided to take the kids play toys (totem tennis pole) plus our tomahawk(wood chopping instrument not aeroplane) as shown on the right.
Picture
BUT then on the 23/9/2012 these 2 people on the right, pictured in the security camera made off with with one of our photos that was hanging on our wall.
They did it in front of all who were present and our own members did not know that it was missing until the aircraft departed.

Echuca needs to be aware that something of great value could go missing in the future when one of of our members visits the club.

We will post photos on this website as soon as the item has been removed from the EAC site.
AND then the EAC will have to try and have it returned.
We have no choice but to revert to these steps.
