[Gordon Anderson]

Sean,

Why don’t you propose some dates instead of just rejecting all the suggestions, seems like to would make the process a lot smoother.

>> Hi John,
>> thanks for distributing the proposed schedule; it has been eagerly anticipated throughout D-8. However, I must report to you that our club members were surprised to discover that the Medford pattern contest was moved from 23/24 April to 9/10 July. As you may remember, I sent you a link to the Rogue Eagles event calendar on 16 December, indicating that we do not have a lot of open dates for a pattern contest.
>> I realize that you are concerned about weather issues here in April, but 9/10 July will not work for us. Our club has about 130 members who enjoy a wide variety of activities during the summer months, and we have two events (a pylon race and a rocket launch) scheduled that weekend. Additionally, D7 has a contest scheduled at OCMA (Steve Hannah) on the same weekend and published their calendar in December, so our contest could not be a D7/D8 shootout.
