[NSRCA-discussion] District 6 Contest Cancellations and New Event!!!

[Archie Stafford]

Great news. I also have great support for a contest at my field. 45  
minutes west of SA. Great location. 800x100 grass runway. Any ideas or  
suggestions on date?  Due to the heat sometime in the fall is probably  
best.
