I am really looking forward to the upcoming 2014 season. As most of you probably know, I have taken over the D4-VP duties from Anthony Abdulah. Thank you Anthony for all your hard work during your years as VP! <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>Things are moving along fairly smoothly on my end with the transition. At this moment I am trying to iron out our schedule for the 2014 season. I have started a thread on RCU in the Pattern forum of all the confirmed dates I have as of now. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>I am trying to find a time in our schedule that I can hold a contest at the S&S field in Quincy Ohio. I would just like to get some input from you about a couple thoughts. I had originally asked my club to hold the month of August open so that I could try and fit a meet in. We have several sanctioned meets in June and July, so August was the only month I could hold open. The only weekend I could hold the meet in August without interfering with another meet is Aug 16 – 17. There is a meet in Michigan the weekend before, and one in Ohio the weekend after. In saying this, we would have three meets right back to back. I know that some people with family commitments and etc. like to have a week or two off in between. I am just trying to figure out how many people think they would be interested in attending if I end up scheduling it then. Another option possibly is having a non-sanctioned practice clinic, and judging clinic sometime in mid-May, or early October after the regular season. If you would please let me know your thoughts on this, and get back to me as soon as possible, I would greatly appreciate it. For those of you who have not flown at the Quincy field, it is located about an hour west of Columbus. We fly at a full scale grass strip that is 2200 feet long, and we face west. Normally the Sun is no issue until late afternoon, and we do have electric. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>I look forward to hearing from you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>Happy Flying !<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'>Matthew Finley – D4 VP</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div> <BR>
