Folks<BR> <BR>I've been in contact with Jeff Bellinger, the president of the Wenatchee club...<BR>We can have a contest at their site anywhere from late May to early June.<BR>June 13-14 is scheduled for Molalla. That leaves Late May or the first weekend in<BR>June.<BR>Ok, here's the lowdown on using their site. Since this contest would not be a Wenatchee<BR>club activity, we would have to pay a rental fee for the use of their site. The fee for two days<BR>is $300. That means we would have to get enough flyers to not only pay that fee, but pay<BR>for awards, scoring costs, etc.... Which brings the total to around $350. As long as we have <BR>enough entries, this wouldn't be a problem. You do the math... it would take around $25 for entry<BR>for 15 pilots to pay for the fee. I'd hate to get into the situation that we schedule a contest there<BR>then only have 8 pilots show up. I need a consensus of what all of you want to do. This is a very<BR>nice flying site and Jeff tells me that he and a few of the club members want to fly in this contest.<BR>He plans on getting his CD license. Then he could hold the contest at that site and it would be a club<BR>activity and the site use fee would be waved. Jeff also indicated that the club would like to keep holding<BR>contests there for years to come. This is somewhat like what has happened at Redmond. We held one<BR>contest there and was immediately invited to continue with contests there. This could be a good thing.<BR>As you may or may not know, we have lost our normally first contest at Sumner, Wa. They have lost use<BR>
of that flying site. This is a good opportunity to get another contest. However, we need to support<BR>
this idea if it is to work. <BR>
The wenatchee site has RV sites available for $15/day, including water and power.<BR>
Dry camping is available for $5/day<BR>
Send me your thoughts and we'll see what everyone wants to do... Also, we need to decide on<BR>
which weekend to hold the contest.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks <BR>
<BR>

Since 2009 is just around the <BR>> corner and schedules are going to start being set, maybe we should <BR>> start looking into this some if we want to do it. I still think it <BR>> is a good idea, because they have a beautiful facility and since it is <BR>> certainly located in Washington, in wouldn't be too long a trip for <BR>> the Oregon guys, the Spokane guys, and possibly even some of the <BR>> Canadian guys. And I would be willing to do what is needed to <BR>> organize and conduct it. Just let me know.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> On Dec 24, 2008, at 9:49 AM, J N Hiller wrote:<BR>> <BR>> > Sorry about that.
