CD's, many of you may have already heard that we have lost two important
D6 contests in 2009 to the ravages of Hurricane Ike. The Jetero Pattern
Classic in Huffman, scheduled for June 6 & 7, has been withdrawn from
the calendar due to conditions at their field that are not conducive to
holding a contest. The Ray Rhodes Memorial in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Nederland</st1:place></st1:City>, scheduled June 27 &
28, has also been withdrawn from the calendar due to ongoing limited
access to their site. Please join me in wishing both clubs well and
looking forward to their happy return to the calendar for 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

(me) have contacted the Prop-Nuts R/C Club in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Crosby</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State></st1:place>
to ask them to help us out. My father is a member there, and Mark and I
have flown there on many occasions as IMAC competitors and guests.
At their monthly club meeting on 4/21, the club voted unanimously to host a
pattern contest June 13 & 14 to help fill the void left by the loss of the
other June events. Richard and Mark will CD/Organize the event with the
help of Ron Barr and Prop-Nuts members. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<st1:State w:st="on">Texas</st1:State></st1:place> about 12 miles due south of
the Jetero site (<a href="http://www.propnuts.com/">http://www.propnuts.com/</a>).
Prop-Nuts R/C has a fantastic flying location with a smooth, closely
groomed grass runway and completely clear overflight of a sod farm.
There is easy access to their site (all paved roads), ample shed space,
and plenty of parking area. Entry fee will be $30. There are
several hotels at the I-10/Garth Road intersection that are about 7 miles south
of the site (these will be listed on the flyer).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
