We should try to get the D-8 schedule set as far into the future as possible. I know it is a hassle to get on the calendars of the individual clubs. But in the long run, those clubs and the D-8 members would appreciate being able to plug dates into their calendars well ahead. We all get very busy calendars and, I for one, would get to more contests if I got them on my calendar earlier.<div><br></div><div>Art</div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 23, 2014, at 11:21 AM, Patrick Harris wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Art,<div><br></div><div>Good idea on the District Championship contest....let's make it my home field. <span><360.gif></span> All and all, that's not a bad idea. if you to take into account the geographical location of D8 pilots, I think we would see a location like Redmond is about as centrally located as you can get with a great field. So maybe we need to adjust our thinking as to when and where the last contest of the year is held to improve attendance. </div>
