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>

<font size=2>I find that the idea of a one day 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>

<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>
