<P>This came up at the board meeting Eric told us that the
Intermediate and advanced pilots were unhappy having to stay until Thursday
to get their awards. Dave said that he would let them vote at the Sunday’s
pilots meeting as to which day they wanted to receive their awards. The
board has been asked to vote on this issue so now we must vote because it is
in the minutes of the board meeting.</P>
<P>If the board votes YES the Intermediate/Advanced pilots will
get to vote at the pilots meeting Sunday evening as to when they will
receive their awards.</P>
<P>If the board votes NO then, we are making the decision for the
Intermediate/Advanced pilots then the awards will be given out Thursday
evening</P>
<P>We will be prepared to handle it either way at the Nat’s </P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This issue seemed to come up very quickly

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This the CD's issue, but I do feel we can
help (if asked) to shake the bushes and get some input from the members
as guidance. let's be clear that Dave is asking for our
input.</FONT>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Vote time really gets my attention.
Please confirm my limited understanding. Is it true that</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. The banquet will still be on
Tuesday?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. There is a question of whether the
Int/Adv should get their awards at the end of their competition or the
end of the contest (this is the only issue)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. The Masters/FAI awards will be on
Thursday, but there will be no BBQ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everyone I've talked with in my district
misses the combined banquet/awards on Wed. Even the master/FAI
guys concede that holding the banquet on Tuesday did not really
help. They, like all of us, were in the middle of a national
championship and couldn't really cut loose. I think there is no
good solution for the M/F finals guys to "make joy" with the entire
pattern community during the competition and if we were to hold the
banquet on Thursday, attendance would be too low. In other words,
their needs can not be met and therefore they can not influence what is
right for the majority.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>--Lance</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS> Dave Guerin's Nats invite in the Jan
issue of KF did not have his phone or email. The NSRCA website
does not list this on the competitions page for the nats. This is
basic info that most every contest CD provides. I think our Nats
CD should be more accessible. Can someone give me his
email? Lamar, can we get this info on the website and maybe in the
KF too?</FONT></DIV></DIV>

<P>All,</P>
<P>We discussed whether to allow the Intermediate and advanced pilots to
vote at the pilots meeting Sunday evening to receive their awards on
Wednesday or Thursday. Everyone wanted some time to poll his or her
district before voting. The vote on this was scheduled for March/3/06 so
it’s time to vote I will close the voting on 3/12/06</P><U>
<P>A YES</U> vote will allow the Intermediate and Advanced pilots to
vote at the pilots meeting Sunday evening whether they will receive
their awards on Wednesday or Thursday.</P><U>
<P>A NO</U> vote will mean that the Intermediate and advanced pilots
will receive their awards on Thursday evening with the Masters and FAI
pilots.</P>
