          In my latest MA column (that probably hits the streets in about three months - plus two???) I wrote about running a contest from a CD's perspective. I spent some time on how to persuade a club to let you use their field etc. Often the sticking point is that they lose their field for two days. 

          Well wouldn't you know it,  I was up in front of my local club last night lobbying for a new contest and that objection came up. The answer that worked was, "It's not really two days - the field can be opened up about 5 PM after the first days flying and after about 2 PM on the Sunday".  I added that if they wanted clinic the week before for club members it would be a joy to do, and the whole meeting turned around to positive.

  (The result BTW is that there will be a new contest called West Windsor Season Finale Pattern Contest, in NJ on Sept 13 and 14 at a field just off of Rt. 38 with easy access from exit 4 of the NJ turnpike and exit 43 of I-295).

  Now all I have to do is complete my CD test, send in a sanction and get all the D-1 and in-range-D-2 pilots to show up.....

  Regards,
