[NSRCA-dist7] Contest conflicts

Kris,

Very constructive reply. It's good to see that the club that has  
hosted the District Championships for the last several years is so  
worthy of your support.

Do you have any idea why there are no contests in July, August and  
September in SoCal? Do you want to go to a contest with 95 to 100  
degree days? That's why.

I have asked for input on when to hold the Arvin contest and I have  
received no responses. You asked for an explanation on why we picked  
the date and I gave you one. In my opinion, my case has been made with  
Derek's "I'll take my ball home" response. Who really has been the  
inflexible one here?

Have a good day.

Tony
