<body class='hmmessage'>Howdy Folks<BR>
<BR>
Well, is everyone ready? The 2008 contest season is about to begin!<BR>
The first contest is at Mollala, Oregon... June 6 and 7. The information<BR>
is on the website, for your convenience. <BR>
I'd like to get some sort of count on who is coming... If you'd be so kind,<BR>
just reply to this email query! <BR>
Historically, this contest is a lot of fun! The Mollala crew are great hosts!<BR>
Just a little new update for all of us... It looks like we've picked up a few<BR>
extra pilots for this season. In the last few weeks, we've had a lot of interest<BR>
and contacts from people all over the NW. So far, 5 to 8 people have decided <BR>
to give pattern a try! That's huge in terms of additional numbers over the <BR>
course of the season... Not all of these pilots have committed to all the <BR>
contests, but a few will make most of them! Looks like we'll have a few <BR>
extra at the Redmond contest as a California pilot is planning on attending!<BR>
Also, so far, 9 California pilots have committed to attending the Creswell<BR>
contest! You add into that, the additional pilots from d8, plus the Canadians<BR>
and it's going to be HUGE!<BR>
This is going to be an interesting season for sure! We're going to have a lot<BR>
of FUN! <BR>
If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to contact me... that's what I'm here<BR>
for! <BR>
