[NSRCA-discussion] Muncie Judging Seminar and Season Opener Contest

[Bill Pritchett]

I would echo all the kind remarks for Dave, Mrs. Johnstone, support of the F3A team, and all the rest that made it a great weekend.  In addition, I would like to personally thank all of you for the kindness shown my boy.....   he had a blast and is ate up with it!  So nice to have Brandon there so Grey could see another youngster gettin' it done!

Thanks to Dave Johnstone and everyone responsible for putting on this contest.  It was another great event, and for the first time since I have been back in pattern, we got this one in without seeing Easy-Ups in tangled piles along the pits.  It did rain, but only during the awards presentations.

Special thanks to all those that purchased F3A team shirts.  It was great to see that so many of the participants had supported the team.  Your support of our US Team is much appreciated.  We will continue to sell shirts at upcoming events, and don't be shy about just making a donation to the US Team fund through the AMA (be sure to designate your gift to the F3A Team).  We have a great group representing us, and they could use our support to help offset the costs of participation.  Though the event is in the U.S. this year, there are still considerable costs associated with participating.  Thanks again to all that have already donated.

It was great to see everyone and I look forward to seeing you all again in a few weeks in Chicago land.

Strong crosswinds combined with rusty skills, new airplanes, and new sequences made for a fun-filled weekend. The weather in this part of the country has kept us from the practice field with rain practically every day this Spring. The pattern gods were smiling this weekend as the weather let us get the Judging Seminar and a full 6 round contest in before the rain showers moved in on the area.
