Fw: Contest

[John Ferrell]

FWIW, originally the Bark's contest and the Mocksville contst were competing for the same time time. We did communicate and Mocksville(Winston) has a full schedule of other events. Bark's is blessed (cursed at bill paying time) with two fields. Bark's could not go earlier due to external scheduling problems. 

Some times you do what you have to do...
You don't have to go far in this district to find some kind of RC event this time of year!

    I have just looked at the D2 contest page and the weekends that you have 
    meets, there are also contest in D3.  I have no problem traveling 6-8 hrs 
    for a meet I did it when I was in D1.   I would have picked the Midland 
    contets but the big electric fly (SEFF) is that same weekend in Andesonville 
  Are you talking about AMA or NSRCA districts here? Its bad enough that NSRCA district 2 is split by two AMA districts, but now you want to decide when we have contest. 
  I feel sure that Bill Mitchell scheduled the contest based on activity in NSRCA district 2 and that attendance would be primarily fliers from North and South Carolina, much as has been the case for several years now. Many (probably 2/3) of the flyers who will be at the Winston contest haven't missed one there for about six years running. Can YOU say that? I don't think so. Of course you had to choose between pattern in Midland or electric's in Ga. Seems we all have our own agendas. But you want us to plan around yours. I don't think so there either! 

  North Carolina and Tennessee are not in the same AMA or NSRCA districts. I don't have a rulebook handy, nor can I remember the exact mileage requirements at this moment, but I don't think that Knoxville Tenn. and Mocksville, NC are close enough to violate the rules.
  I will discuss, if you wish, with my fellow CDs here in NC and SC that we should confer with Scott Anderson in Tenn. before we schedule any more contest!  Nah! I don't think so!
