Weight is not the issue!

[John Ferrell]

I understand your frustration!
We put many man hours and suffered through strained personal relations with our friends only to get a 20% return on the survey. Factor in that 5% of the votes came from the committee and it only gets worse. On the other hand, perhaps that if they remaining 80% is not interested, they should not be considered. 

Would I do it again? Probably, because it is a job to be done and we need to help out where we can. But I should add that a fresh team would be best each cycle... at least that is my opinion at the moment!

My position on the weight issue is pretty soft. It would not hurt to give it a try at least in the lower clases at the Nats. But that is not my project...

  If the intrest is such that we only have 20% of those flying pattern who vote then how in the world are we going to get those outside of pattern to try it? As I said before it is up to those in pattern to use every means possible to maintain the intrest of those already flying pattern.

  An 80% vote on important issues would indicate to me that pattern is alive and well. First of all I believe that most of the people who did not vote failed to vote for reasons other than lack of intrest. What are they? Every one is trying to figure out why new people are not stepping up to try pattern when it looks to me we need to search out our internal problems and make an effort to solve them. If I dont care and you dont care then who does? 

  Just searching for answers. Is anyone even interested?
