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