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<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><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<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR> <BR>Rex<BR><BR>> From:<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="mailto:tstebbins@gmail.com">tstebbins@gmail.com</A><BR>> To:<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="mailto:nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</A>;<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><A href="mailto:Aventsherp@aol.com">Aventsherp@aol.com</A><BR>> Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 10:20:58 -0800<BR>> Subject: Re: [NSRCA-dist8] Soft Mount<BR>><SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>><SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Hey Jim and Scott,<BR>><SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> Any further thoughts about having a pattern meet in Wenatchee in<SPAN class=EC_apple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>> 2009 ?
