Hi Art,
I'm in favor of continuing to plan for the remaining contests on the schedule.
I believe that the chances of getting Covid-19 in an outdoor environment is
infinitesimally small. The sterilizing wipes use sounds prudent to me. Let's
fly!

night I hosted a Zoom meeting with the 2020 CD’s. We reviewed where we stand
and what options remain for the rest of the year. Before proceeding with any
given direction we felt it essential to get input from all pilots for a
collective sense of preferred direction.

You may fly the sequence you prefer and more attention will be given to
critiquing each of our flights. This would be a “brown bag” event. No food
will be provided.

we will encourage all pilots to bring sterilizing wipes and nitrile gloves. We
will need to clean the scoring controllers after each hand off.

welcome to include any questions that you may have. I’ll compile the
information and will reconvene the CD’s. We’ll communicate the results of
