club that would like to participate then why don’t they try to get the club to
have this as one of their sanctioned events? Those in the club that want to fly
can, and as a club event then the fee could be waived as they would make any
proceeds after expenses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

rather than just donating the remainder of the contest receipts, however the

could get some good wind practice maybe even rain or it could be sunny and
calm, kind of like any other contest. What Rex didn't mention is how convenient
the location is in east Wenatchee. Easy to get to, and lodging is also
available in east Wenatchee; for us folks that don't stay on site. <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

<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>
Rex<br>
