<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My wife and I just had our first (a son who I hope
will like RC as much as I do) and we have had numerous conversations about my
being able to make meets next year. Although she is willing to let me go to a
couple it would be easier to get to more if I weren't going to be gone Friday
night to Sunday night.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I keep trying to get one of the clubs to which I
belong to host a meet but they don't want their flying impacted for two
days either. Maybe a one day contest is a way to get that to
happen.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm with Kelly. We have 3 kids as well. A one day contest is
easy for me to attend. A two day contest is a lot more difficult... meaning
one or two a year is all that I'll ever be able to make.<BR>I understand those
who travel a long way need a reason to travel. I wonder if attendance would be
better for two one day events? My guess is that it would probably add a couple
pilots each day.<BR><BR>Mike Wizynajtys<BR><BR>At 04:46 PM 9/28/2006, you

contest is very appealing to the "local crowd"- if you are close enough to
drive to the contest the morning of and drive home at night
afterwards. I think it is a great way to spark interest locally.
I have found someone to take over the CD responsiblities from me at the CAPI
next year so I may have some flexibility. Perhaps we (you and I) could
talk about doing something at our club next year. Either a one day
event or two one day events as Ron suggests.<BR></FONT> <BR><FONT

<DD>I understand the 2 day commitment consideration-<BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>The one day contest concept gets re - raised every so often,<BR>
<DD>and has it's pro's and con's. I think there is room for the one
day contest.<BR>
<DD>And try to emblish it by an optional clinic, judging seminar, or
whatever <BR>
<DD>on the other day. <BR>
<DD><BR>
<DD>How about two, one day contests at same field, same weekend?<BR>
<DD>That was done at Lakehurst years ago, quite successfully.<BR>

<DD>> <BR>
<DD>> The idea of a 2 day contest is a big commitment for me. <BR>
<DD>> We have 3 children under 5 years old and my wife is a stay <BR>
<DD>> at home mom. The only break she gets is on the weekends <BR>
<DD>> when I am around to help. <BR>
<DD>> <BR>
<DD>> I have a hard time asking her to watch the kids all weekend
<BR>
<DD>> while I go fly and babysitters can be hit and miss. <BR>
<DD>> <BR>
<DD>> A one day contest would be wonderful for someone in my <BR>
<DD>> situation, however I have no idea if this would work or draw
<BR>
<DD>> more contestants? <BR>
