Received this from a club down in Acworth, Georgia, and thought I'd share...

Here's an update from my contact in Georgia...

Bob McGee said there were some arrests recently. Here's what their website (http://www.atlrcclub.org/) says:

- Protests: arrests were made last week at the property. People were dragged out and charged with Domestic Terrorism. We are hoping there is more of that to come.

- We are also still waiting to hear what comes of the lawsuit against the land swap.

- We are reaching out to Ryan Millsap to try to get his take on what may happen with the property in 2023.

- All of this is still TBD... we'll let you know as news comes to us.

- IF we hear it's safe to do so, both in terms of us being welcome to stay at the field by the landowners, and if it seems like the danger from the protestors destroying property is contained, we will look into getting new tables back out at the field and rebuilding the shelter that was torn down.

- We have heard that folks have been out flying and all has been fine... let's hope that continues.
