No, I don't think the rules have changed, Mike... all of this apparantly stems from<BR>
the clubs bylaws. Jeff stated that he will have his CD license for the next season.<BR>
I don't know what the deal is and didn't ask. I don't really have a problem with <BR>
paying the fee... it's all about getting enough people to show up, then there's no<BR>
problem.<BR>

The Molalla club allows several contests to be held at our site each year hosted by others for no fee what-so-ever. If it’s a really big event and requires additional porta-potties then we ask the user to pay for these, otherwise we do it so our members can see something new, different and learn more about our hobby. It also gives our members a chance to participate in something new that is close to home if they like. I think other clubs should do the same.</SPAN></FONT></P>

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