[NSRCA-dist8] Contest poll

[Karl Watts]

I must put a plug in here for the Boise contest.  It has attracted more Sportsman, like me, thanks to Mike's work.  You will be seeing more I am sure next year.  Also, when you look at the schedule everything is far away for Boise contestants so keeping this one every year is only fair.  It also attracts some people from D7 in Utah.

Sorry guys, been trundling through Idaho and Nevada the last two days. Thanks Gordon for triggering this discussion at the end of the season. It offers time for some constructive brain storming over the "building season."

Central location is key to the district contest. Geographically what location has the closest average distance for everyone? Seems like it might be Redmond?

Picking up on the conversations from last week end, I'd like to see added to the discussion how we get "newbies" into the mix each year. What can we do to invite pilots to give pattern a try? It always starts with someone promoting at a local field. Doesn't even need to involve a formal contest. Maybe we should all carry a stack of the Sportsman sequences around with us, ready to hand it out to anyone who shows slightest interest.

This is very important. I talked to a few of you about this at Tri Cities. As always, Gordon stepped up to plate and put together a very user friendly poll to query the group to get an idea of the contest you plan to attend next year.

As you are likely aware, the number of participants has dropped off significantly at several contest this year and needs to be addressed. My personal opinion is we just had too many contest this year and spread our small group thin. I have talked to several of you and I would like to cut the number of contest back to six or so for 2015. The other issue is trying to hold no more than one contest per month. This year, we have had several contest fall within two weeks, which puts a lot of strain of family life as well as the pocket book.

Please find the link to the poll on the D8 site or go here:

Please select only the contest you plan to attend up to 6 events. If you would like to stay anonymous, just fill in a fictitious name when completing the poll.

As they say "if you don't vote, you have no right to complain".

Thank you in advance,

Pat
