[NSRCA-discussion] Equipment cost andpartiicpation --

[spbyrum]

Check on a new flyers other hobbies.  Does he, or has he competed in
other sports.  If a new guy is a competitor, pattern is a natural
extension of things he already does.

There's thread in this last post I would like to expand upon.  The
question 
was "Think back long ago to the moment you became interested in pattern.

What caused your interest?"

Take it a step further and ask "What would it take today to get a guy 
interested in pattern?" The emphasis being on today.

As was well stated earlier the world has changed and there are a lot
more 
alternatives for our leisure time and money. Answer the "today" question
and 
we can grow pattern!

Regards,

Eric.
