Member's Christmas Dinner

SAAM is a non-profit incorporated organisation operated entirely by volunteers. We offer a friendly atmosphere where those interested in aviation can offer their services in areas such as restoration, display, administration & research. Membership is open to any interested person subject to the approval of SAAM members. There are two categories of membership, 'Full Member' and 'Friend of the Museum'. Full members are required to have a satisfactory National Police Check (which SAAM arranges).
