[NSRCA-discussion] East Wings contest

[W Anthony Abdullah]

I would like to echo Mike's sentiment, it was a wonderful event with a competitive but relaxed kind of atmosphere. The host club was amazingly gracious and accommodating! If you weren't able to make it you really missed an excellent event!

I would also like to send a thank you out to some of the people who worked behind the scenes. Thanks to Pete Cosky, who is the busiest guy I know, spending his rare free time to help post events to and manage the district website. I would also like to thank Anthony Cornaccione for helping to promote the event through RCU and his tireless support in the district. So if you see any of these guys or any of the East Wings club members, thank them for the generous donation of their time and for their dedication.

P.S. look for a full contest report in an upcoming issue of the K-Factor

> The 1st Annual Eastwings Precision Pattern Contest was a great success.  We had wonderful weather Saturday and Sunday which allowed for some great flying.  Later Sunday morning it got a little bumpy up in the air, but everybody flew through it very well.  The Eastwings club members did a great job helping out wtih the contest.  My wife Cindy and Eastwings V.P. Sue took care of score keeping and together they did an outstanding job.  They plowed through some speed bumps and still managed to get all the scores entered in a timely manner.

> The first annual East Wings Pattern contest is coming up in less than two weeks (06/23/12-06/24/12) and we would like to make it an outrageous success so that the club will welcome us back! Mike Darr has worked very hard, at my request, to get the club to agree to hold a pattern contest and they reluctantly agreed. D4 has a relatively light contest season this year and we really NEED to support this event.

> The contest is in Michigan so it is within driving distance for everyone in D4 plus our Canadian friends. I have flown at the field and it is VERY nice! District points WILL count, so if you have any aspirations on being the D4 district champion in any class, you had better show up. I know I will be doing everything I can to get every point I can in Advanced so I can add some more hardware to my mantle!!!
