It was lonely out here

Clay,
    I will have to throw in my thanks to your club also..Terry has always
talked up the contest at some of our local contests and this year a friend
and I decided to make the trip...Everything about your facility is right up
there with any around my area..And your club participated by supporting
different areas, not just flying in the contest, which is nice to see.
    And you could not ask for a clearer area to fly in, field view is like
you could fly forever in any direction! Just wanted to give my thanks for
your club and Terry's work, I am sure we will be back at the future
contests! Charlie Rock

Hello all,
 
My name is Clay Schmidt and I am the President of the Model Association of
Central Kansas. MACK is a small club dead center in the middle of Kansas.
Our membership is spread over a 50 mile area centered over the Great Bend
and Larned area.
 
This last weekend, June 21st and 22nd MACK hosted a pattern contest.  We
ended up with seven contestants and two of those contestants are club
members.  As you can imagine we are very disappointed in the turn out and I
was hoping that some of you that fly pattern, and would possibly come to
Central Kansas, would indulge us with a little information or suggestions so
we can increase the participation in our contest. 
 
I've listened to a lot of speculation, and "how comes" but I would like to
hear directly from anyone why our event for the most part was not on the
"Contest Trail."  Is it because you didn't know about it?  Is the date
bad,,too close to other contests or in conflict with other contests?, You
don't want to come to Central Kansas ( Rural)?  Traditionally too windy?
Poorly run?  What ever the reason I'd like to know.
 
Thanks for listening and for your time.  Anyone with input can email me
directly at clay1 at grapevine.net <mailto:clay1 at grapevine.net> .  Again, we
really want to host a premier event and your input could very well help us
do that.
 
Clay
