[NSRCA-dist8] 2021 Season

[RICHARD BERGERON]

Hi Art,

One more thing I wish you would poll about the potential for a Eugene contest. The president of the Eugene club brought up a One Day Contest. In thinking it over, we usually get in 4 rounds on the first day of a 2 day contest, and that is plenty of rounds to pick a winner. Three out of four is doable in my mind. Would you add that to the pole you are going to send out please?

Rick

And yet travel demands are never more than a couple of hundred miles.  In D-8 we are faced with the challenges of wide open spaces. Washington, Oregon and Idaho are BIG states and the common thread among all of us is the demands of long trips to get to contests. I've spoken with John Bentley about this. We are both interested in distributing our contests to make them more accessible while respecting travel demands.

This would permit all pilots to select contests nearer to home but would not deny anyone from attending more contests if they wish.

And Rick Bergeron has proposed to the Eugene club the possibility of a contest at their field. I've not been to that field but Rick reports that it is a beautiful grass field, open flying area and pilots facing north (optimal sun angles). There is also a possibility of an event at Beck's field, in the Wilsonville area. Also, if these become a reality it's possible that some could be one-day contests.

There is a lot to consider among these proposals, but it's up to all of us to determine how we want to proceed. Once you've digested these, share your thoughts and add any ideas that would contribute to a worthy 2021 season.
