BARCS is NOT going to be cancelled – I’m not taking my toys and
going home as Tony suggested.  This may well be the last contest at BARCS
anyway since we will probably lose our field next year (or perhaps the year
after)… so we may as well go out with a bang!
 
Let’s hope for decent weather!

Hopefully BARCS is not cancelled, I was looking forward to
Richmond. While I would rather be able go to both, we are where we are, and
that's that. Aside from me and the Kimbros, Richmond is closer for all the
northern folk and we can still have a 20+ contestant showing. Maybe we can do a
roll call and see who is going where?

The “lecture” I gave Tony was to be more flexible with his date
as it is a new contest and shouldn’t conflict with traditional dates.
  The BARCS contest has always been held the last week of April
 but for the past several years we’ve had weather issues on that weekend
and for the 1st time
last year we moved the date to the 1st weekend in May.  Guess
what?  We got rained out again – so we decided to keep it at the 1st weekend in May going forward since we
felt our odds would be better.  Since it didn’t interfere or conflict with
any traditional contests in previous years we thought we’d be ok.  Our
board is limited to the dates we can use and moving it to the following weekend
won’t work (Mother’s Day).  I’m not going back either since that conflicts
with other activities.
 
The only other option I have is to cancel the contest – which I
what I’m leaning toward anyway.  I’m tired of this bickering back and
forth about who said what, etc.

Contest conflicts
 
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!

Just looking over contests for the
year and wondering why Arvin is being held the same weekend as Richmond. Richmond
is held around that time every year depending on weather if I remember
correctly.. I hate to miss Arvin because of this situation. I really like
flying there. Bummer to have the lower turnout at Arvin because of this because
I'm sure many from the north would travel there..
 
Are these dates correct?
 
Thanks!
