contest support

[Derek Koopowitz]

Look... as long as we're contributing to contests then please mail me a
check for $35 for entry into my next contest in 2006.  Address is:
 
881 Oxford Way
Benicia, CA. 94510

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.



Let's see. I could go to the Ocala, FL; Pensacola, FL; Knoxville, TN;
Americus, GA; Cullman, AL; Apopka, FL; Jacksonville, FL; and Huntsville, AL
contests for a total of only $100 in entry fees? Yeah, I'd do that.

 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.
