WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
2nd September 2002



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Another month has gone by, congratulations to various people.... everyone in Omicron for winning SoM, Ardeth for winning PoM and everyone in both Eta nd Iota for reaching the CSL Semi-Finals.

With CSL coming to an end i'll be announcing the complete rules and missions for our first TIE Golf competition. This'll happen towards the end of the week to give you plenty of time to fly. As the name suggests it's something fun for everyone to try, and you're all in with a chance of winning upto 4 IS-BWs and 1 IS-SW, so take the chance.

We missed out on the monthly target of 1,500, so next month i'd like us to end the downward trend. The target for September flying is 1,276 missions. As a wing our yearly total is 13,050, so we're well on course to break 15,000 for the year.

We've had one new arrival, Major Wraith, and no departures which means we're going up in size too.

NEWS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wargames
07:27 - FA Priyum Patel [spellfire@btinternet.com]
Players are still needed for the Advanced Wargame (taking advantage of many optional rules, and exploring the limits of XWA skirmish editing) and slots are still available for the Basic Wargame (learning how to play Project Faithful-style wargames). If you are interested, please email the War Officer ASAP. The games will run on a less brutal pace than Imperial Storm did, and help will be given by the WO and others.

Emergency Leave
10:51 - AD Mell Kerrigan [mell@tiecorps.org]
Due to some problems with my phoneline supplier my short 2 day leave is turning into a week.
MAJ Aeishline Strathaven has taken control of the courses I cover. (CORE, IIC and M) Any enquiries regarding these courses should be directed to her.
My leave is now scheduled to end on Wednesday the 4th September, providing all is ok.

Domain spring cleaning
02:25 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
I've been doing some cleaning up because the database ran out of space. The result is about 40 megs of reclaimed datbase space and about 20 megs of reclaimed disk space allocated to the web site. The only visibly affected area of the database is the message board - I deleted all the posts prior to the start of this year. The 20megs of disk space recovered was from the deletion of the TO site. You can find the TO site now at http://www.imperialacademy.org/. The course and staff pages are pulled right off the TC database and should be accurate. If you encounter any errors, email me and I'll have a look at it.
