[NSRCA-dist7] Contest conflicts

[Anthony Frackowiak]

Kris,

When Leon and I set the date for the Arvin contest we looked at the  
last several years of the contest schedule. The BARCS meet has changed  
their dates several times over the last few years, so they do not have  
a "traditional" date. Most years the BARCS meet has been held on the  
last weekend in April. Last year the BARCS meet was scheduled for the  
first weekend in May, but they had bad weather and moved it to August,  
which as far as I know, everyone liked it then. If we move the Arvin  
meet one weekend back or one weekend up, we bump against the Riverside  
meet or the Hemet meet, something I did not want to do. So we really  
could not have it on a different weekend in May. There were really no  
open weekends in April. So when do you think we should have scheduled  
the Arvin meet? I can tell you this, if the BARCS meet was scheduled  
the same weekend as either Riverside or Hemet, it would have little to  
no impact, especially the same weekend as Hemet. No one going to Hemet  
would be also going to BARCS. Or if the BARCS meet could be moved to  
May 8, 9, it would work out a lot better.

I tried to work with Derek on this but basically got a lecture and no  
compromise. I'm sorry it is a conflict, as I do know many from the  
"north" who would like to go to Arvin. It's a great place to fly!

Tony
