contest support

[Atwood, Mark]

OK...something to chew on...  What about some type of District "Season
Ticket" purchase??   This would require some forethought...but the gut
idea is that you'd pay a lump sum...that all the contests in the
district would split up.  After which attendance is free.  So for
example...our typical contest is $25.  So you make a district "pass"
that cost $100.   Basically going to 4 contest would be the break even
point for the competitor.   That money gets allocated somehow across the
district...  Possibly some % to ALL contest regardless of attendance
(this would have large contests financially helping small) and then the
rest would be allocated based on attendance. 

 

I know..needs some tuning for sure, but the idea I like.   I for one
would always buy in, whether I was going to 4 contests or not.  I'm sure
others like Steve would do the same...

 

Thoughts??

	 Don't know about any of the rest of you but I have at times
supported contest without ever flying a flight, in fact I'm going to
make a practice of sending in entry fees to contest that I consider
local (within 5 to 6 hours) that I can't attend, just to support the
club and to let them know that we do appreciate the use of the field for
the weekend might help keep some contest alive and encourage more clubs,
don't know if any other sig does this, cost is minimal 20 to 30 dollars
, could help put pattern as a priority instead of other events.

	 

 

I like this idea. It could be a boon to contests which are marginally
getting by. There have been many contests which I planned to attend,
only to have the plans shot down at the last minute. It would obviously
help if the host club has an advance registration procedure in place, so
you can register in advance and the host club would still benefit from
your support, even if you can't attend.
