We had a huge gap in D4 contests this year (almost 2 months between losses if memory serves). I know that was due to a scheduling anomaly, but it would still be nice to have another D4 contest, particularly if some of the other districts can join the fun. <BR></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">I’m looking for interest regarding a new D4 contest in 2010. I don’t have any dates in mind and have not discussed this with the flying club at this point. I have had conversations with some key folks and believe the club members will support it. They tried a pattern type primer before I was a member so I know there is some interest for locals in Sportsman.</SPAN></FONT></P>
