good points Mark.<BR> I think we need for the exisiting pilots to
take someone who has potential under their wing. If half the existing guys
could find 1 guy then we would be pretty healthy and grow.<BR>

First I want to thank Rick Cilles and<BR>> his family and club
members<BR>> for putting on an absolutely fabulous contest this<BR>>
weekend. This<BR>> contest gets better and better each year
with better<BR>> attendance, a focus on good<BR>> flying, good fun
and GREAT food!!<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> But during
this contest we had some<BR>> conversations about all<BR>> the “how
do we grow pattern” discussions and I<BR>> came to the<BR>>
conclusion the one of the EASIEST ways, and one that we can<BR>>
completely control,<BR>> is for those that are already IN pattern…to
support<BR>> pattern. GO TO<BR>> CONTESTS!!!!!
Seriously. If<BR>> we could get the<BR>> people
that already FLY pattern to just attend their local<BR>> (regional)
contests,<BR>> the positive impacts would be huge and would go a long
way<BR>> to promote and<BR>> encourage others to try
it.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> Head count at local
contests would go<BR>> up helping them financially,<BR>> reducing
the amount of judging load on the participants<BR>> (increasing
their<BR>> enjoyment and improving the diversity of scoring), and
new<BR>> sportsman pilots<BR>> would feel like they attended a
contest, not a local<BR>> gathering. <BR>><BR>>
<BR>><BR>> So how do we get all the people on<BR>>
this list to commit to 3<BR>> or 4 contests a season?? Or maybe
just increase the<BR>> number they normally<BR>> go to by
1?? If we all went to 1 more contest<BR>> the impact would
be<BR>> huge I think.<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>>
Thoughts???<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> PS, A big thank
you and congrats to<BR>> Dave Johnstone our D4 VP<BR>> for agreeing
to fly P-11 at the last minute and flying it<BR>> with only 1 day
of<BR>> practice. Great
job!!<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>
