Ed: I agree.  If the AMA is going to cave to those locals who are inconvenienced by their not having access during Nats,, perhaps the AMA should limit their membership to only include those locals, and eliminate all other "outside" activities..  I'm sure that their numbers could support the entire AMA and all the peripherals.  Yeah, Right. (Upkeep on the site, etc. as well as running the general association.)
Inasmuch as my only inconvenience is a good-sized hotel bill, and about 1600 miles (total) on my vehicle, I guess elimination of this "inconvenience" (the Nats) would be an asset.  And, because of where I am, I readily recognize my "inconvenience" is a lot less than some others, who are coming from further.

I wish to register a complaint.  What form do I sign?  J  The AMA site is inconveniently located for my normal weekend practice.  Why are my dues supporting a tiny fraction of AMA membership to have access to a flying site that I can’t drive to easily?  In other words, who cares about the complaints of the locals.  It’s OUR site and the vocal minority have exclusive access for the rest of the year.  Tough noogies.

It really isn't just about cutting costs either. It is also about other AMA membership complaining about the site not being available for their use. You would not believe the number of complaints AMA has had about the AMA site being tied up. That is why the overall Nats at the site has been shortened in length. 

If you are on 72, better plan on moving over to SS in the future. I've heard rumours that the AMA has been considering making the AMA site SS only in the future.

This is really funny. They want to bring the nats to 2 weeks to cut costs. I am sure they make money the way it is. Take this for what it is, heresay, but  I heard that the members of the club were complaining that the nats takes too much of their time away from their field for them to fly. Wasn't the field built for a localized nats site? And I'm pretty sure we all paid for it. The ama will lose out if they go to a 2 weeks nats IMO. Wait till they see entry's decline.

That is a possibility also.  AMA is thinking about returning the NATS to a 2 week all-events NATS like used to be done.  If all events are together, HQ can put all costs into one effort.  If they are all split up, Each group would have more costs to deal with due to the fact that HQ can’t send a group of people to every site.

Why not allow the SIGS to do their own thing? IMAC and NSRCA do not need to share a site. The LSF can find a site for the soaring NATS. Pylon knows what venues work for them and so on. FF can do their own thing as well. Why tie soaring and FF together and so on??

Matt:
Yes, it is just difficult to tell if it is actually feasible…  The problem is that it requires a large site for Pattern/Pylon/IMAC and will require another large site for Soaring/Outdoor FF.  It may be very difficult to actually find places that can handle this group.
