has to be a cycle. Our area (D4) use to be a hotbed for pattern in
the 80’s but through the 90’s and aught’s we saw a very steady decline in
participation. But the last 3-4 years has seen a resurgence of pattern
activity and a host of new participants. We still have a large
masters class of long time competitors, but our contests now have a solid
contingent of Sportsman and Intermediates showing up to many contests.
Our district champs had 10 in Advanced… A combination of long time
old blood, some new advancements from Intermediate, and some former
participants that are coming back to the scene.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>It'll be interesting to see what happens next. The survival
of our newsletter is tied directly to the number of advertisers. If
those who sell products related to our hobby don't think it is profitable to
continue advertising in the K-Factor, our newsletter will founder. I'm
sure the poor economy is part of the problem. As the owner of a small
hobby shop, I can tell you that my sales this year will be about half of what
they were 5-7 years ago.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>It appears that the number of competitors is down in the
southeast. I was stunned to see only 12 competitors at the O.J. Stillman
contest in Jacksonville just over a week ago. That contest normally has
numbers in the high 20s - low 30s. The Huntsville contest in September
used to be a major contest, but there were so few contestants that we were
either flying, calling or judging all the time. I know that numbers like
that will cause clubs to think twice about hosting another contest.
After a hiatus of almost ten years, my club, the Eglin Aero Modellers,
is hosting a contest in just over a week. I hope the number of
competitors is sufficiently high, because, if they are, I'm sure we will
continue hosting the contest. If not, there won't be another
contest.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

you are a competitor and attempting to abide by the rules you may have
a completly different perspective. For that reason I think the rules
in place are well thought out and I think Derek is correct in pointing
it out. MIke<BR><BR>--- On <B>Wed, 10/6/10, Keith Hoard <I><<A
