Folks,

Many thanks to everyone for your input.  Rest assured that we will use this information and hopefully find a solution to our attendance woes.

If you all don't mind, I would like to come back after we discuss all this and ask a few more questions.  I'd like to come up with a few possible dates,  run them by, and hopefully we can find a date that would allow as many pilots as possible to attend.

Again thank you. You all have been a big help.  If anyone has any more to add please feel free to e-mail me. My address is  clay1 at grapevine.net.

Clay Schmidt

  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.  Again, we really want to host a premier event and your input could very well help us do that.

  Clay
