Annex Proposal

[Terry Terrenoire]

We don't need to self insure. We would maintain out affiliation with AMA,
just make our oun rules. As I said earlier, any CD has the right to make
changes from the rule book, as long as they are published in advance.
Back in the 80's there was one club in PA that sponsored an all
turnaround meet. They did that for at least 5 years before AMA made the
change. We did not fly any AMA schedule!

The LSF (League of Silent Flight) a few years back had a riff with the
AMA. The AMA didn't want to listen to the LSF on some of their proposals.
The LSF then retaliated against the AMA by holding their own nationals at
a different location non affiliated with the AMA. The AMA then realized
if they didn't let the LSF make some of their own decisions that they
weren't going to have a AMA soaring nationals. The bottom line is the AMA
wants and needs the revenue generated by the SIG's. If your going to
allow one SIG to compile their own rules, maneuvers, etc. then all of the
SIG's should enjoy the same freedom. We all contribute equally so we
should all benefit equally. I think we have a real good and just
arguement. I think that we need to talk to some of the other SIG's and
see exactly how things were done when they were up against the wall like
we are.

We (NSRCA) did this a few years back as well.  When we wanted more 
control over the NATS, the AMA blew us off, so we sponsored the NSRCA 
Pan American Championships (NPAC), first at Lawrenceville, IL and again 
at Tullahoma, TN.  After that, AMA caved and we ran our part of the 
Nats.  I'm not suggesting that we do another NPAC, but maybe it's time 
to remind them that we are willing and capable of doing something like 
NPAC if we feel that our needs aren't being met by the national 
organization.

Hi Ron,

I am with you on this issue. We, the Pattern afficionados, indeed set the
precedent in the early 90's with the two NPAC contests, sponsored,
managed and conducted by the NSRCA. I would be in favor of doing it again
if AMA Board members don't see the value of NSRCA's collective judgement
in regards to OUR DISCIPLINE. (CAPS ARE YELLING!)

We just need to be ready for any insurance issues that may surface. Based
on the NSRCA Dues Cost discussions of the past, I don't think we, the
NSRCA, are ready to self insure
