[NSRCA-discussion] D4 St. Clairsville Contest - D1 Invite!

[Archie Stafford]

Mark,

Actually a few years ago at our pre Nats get together we actually discussed
kind of D1 v. D4 kind of contest.  The location would work out well for
that.  And I'm sure the weekend could be adjusted if needed.  The field is
so easy to get to and so pattern friendly with lots of hotels and
restaurants just a few miles from the field...

Just wanted to extend a thank you to Rick Cillas and Wes Stafford (yeah,
that's Archie's Dad) for putting on a great contest in St. Clairsville, OH
(on the WV border) this weekend.  The weather was a challenge, but the event
was excellent, highlighted by great food both days!

This event location is fairly new, and is now on a brand new field that was
excellent for pattern flying.  We only had 13 people, which speaks to the
location relative to our district (eastern edge of D4).

It seems to me that there must be some flyers in the Western PA region, WV,
Western NY that would be pretty close to this contest and I would encourage
you to consider it for your 2009 calendar.  It would be nice to get some
cross district participation on our Eastern shores that rivals the D4-D5
participation we get on the western side of the district.

Anyhow, great event, and a job well done by Rick and Wes.  Thanks for all
the effort!!

-Mark
