<DIV>Glad to hear you guys had a decent turnout despite the weather. We
had the same issues over at LVRCS IMAC. Had 18 show up for the contest-
not bad considering it was a first time contest and with the rain.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We laughed a bit about the rain- only a competitive flyer would say-
"hey the rain has slowed down (not stopped)- let's fire 'em back up and get
flying!"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

Pocono Pattern contest report</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Despite very gloomy weather forecasts for the entire weekend (Severe
T-storms, 90% chance of precip, flash flooding, dogs & cats living
together yada-yada), we had 23 pilots brave the weather and compete.
Clearly we would have had a better draw without these conditions, but we made
a good contest out of it. It's great to see the attitude that people have, who
still arrived from New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Tennessee,
PA, "Joisey", upstate NY and points in between. I know that feeling you
get when you are one of the long distance travelers slogging through downpours
on the way, wondering if there's even a chance that there's going to be any
flying possible. Best of all was the strong attendance in Sportsman and
Intermediate under these conditions. 7 in Sportsman, 5 in Intermediate -
half the contest was with guys with 0 to 5 years time in the sport.
And the support from the guys in the club who still come out to sit in the
rain to man the impound, tally the scores and grill the burgers is just
great. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In between rain delays we got 4 rounds in for all AMA classes, 3 for
FAI. We decided to defer the informal "Mini e-Pattern" event until
the 51st annual AGS Pattern contest in Sayre, PA in August. Bob Noll
graciously offered us a slot at to take that show in the road, which we
will be doing. A .pdf with detailed results for all places in each class
will be emailed out to participants early this week. Results 1st -3rd
are:</DIV>
