Fw: WAS - KFactor Now "Members"

[Terry Brox]

Hi Dan,
           Glad to hear all the new guys getting involved. One of the things I try to impress upon guys not sure about joining, is their voice (provided they vote) in approving the NSRCA proposals. I feel that in itself is worthy of joining. Many do not like the "power" NSRCA has with this aspect of rules proposals, but if enough join, and enough vote, then the rules will more closely follow the majorities feelings toward any given issue. I do agree that a K Factor is still the number one reason most join. I wonder (or has this been discussed) how hard it would be to put a K Factor online even if there is no "hard copy" printed. 
      Great to see ya online, and looking forward to seeing you next summer. It was a 5hr 40 min drive for me coming home. However, admittedly, I did push it a little ;-))
                    Take care, Terry

  Most of the contest I attended this year had as many contestants as the past few years and the majority had a few more.  Here in Springfield, after several years of promoting pattern to anyone that would get with in hollering distance, it is showing some positive results.  Two started flying some pattern this year in Sportsman and there are 4 more that are going to have new 2 meter planes this spring.  Interesting note...none of these new pattern flyers are NSRCA members as yet.  I really can't give them much reason to join right now. It is a really hard sell without a constant and dependable K-
  factor.  It just kinda seems like our organization is in a state of flux.  A survey that few filled out with results that it seems few wanted.  The website is somewhat stagnate and right now the direction that we are going is not well defined.  

  I am a member and will remain, but I can sure see how the membership has dwindled while, at least within the Midwest pattern is showing some growth.
