[NSRCA-dist8] Contest poll

[Karl Watts]

Yes, I had some discussion with one of the guys about that this past weekend.  He said there is an online test.  I am willing, would rather go to a live course.

I nominate Karl to CD the Boise contest next year; all in favor say "I".

All kidding aside, I would really like to have a contest date for next year. Our club requires a membership contest approval vote. We only have three more general meetings this year and I would like to get it approved before new club officers are elected for next year.

All great input...keep it coming.

Karl...we have been discussing that very same issue about location of contestants and driving distance.

Here is another idea.  Map out where contestants from this past year live.  This will help looking for the "ideal" location for the District Contest and evaluating where to have contests next year.  Also do another poll on what is the average distance people have driven/contest this past year and what is the longest willing to drive.  I am willing to do one extra long (more than 6 hours) drive/season.

Guy's

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
