[NSRCA-dist8] 2015 contest schedule

[James Hiller]

Mike you and Karl bring up good points . I guess I feel some obligation to
try to attend nearly all of them and 6 is pushing it for me., however an
occasional trip to the fringes of our district sounds inviting provided
there were more than the same had full of regulars.

Well, this is my input as a "newbie".  In a district this size I believe
more contests are better.  As I evaluated my involvement I looked at how
many contests I could attend, distance was the bottom line.  To make it
worth the time and effort I felt 3-4.  With the number of contests, spread,
and driving distance I can do this.  It the number of contests are reduced,
depending on where they are held I may not be able to attend as many.  I
know it is a HUGE burden on the small number or people who organize and run
these contests.  Maybe the solution is not to reduce the number or contests,
but to recruit and train more people to run them.

I agree with the idea of six contests; but would like to add I think it is
important we keep all our contests, they offer "pattern" exposure to a lot
of clubs in the Northwest. My suggestion is to hold some of our current
contests every other year on a rotational basis. This way contests can
easily added and subtracted from the mix. 

 

Something I have thought about doing with the Boise contest is to find a
place in eastern Idaho to hold it every other year. A contest further east
would not have to give any consideration to the main D8 schedule because of
sheer distance for most of our ranks. Montana and Wyoming are D8 too.

All, 

 

I would like to make a proposal for the 2015 contest season. This is nothing
official its just food for thought as we progress through the 2014 season. I
think we have too many contests, the summer is full with events every two
weeks. This is a small district and I think we would be better served with
fewer contests. My wife Meri had a great suggestion that I think we should
consider, lets have one contest per month starting in May and ending in
October. This would be 6 contests with several weeks between each contest.
This can only happen if all the CDs work together and we develop the 2015
plan soon. So lets start discussing the 2015 schedule!
