However, I must report to you that our club members were surprised to discover that the Medford pattern contest was moved from 23/24 April to 9/10 July. As you may remember, I sent you a link to the Rogue Eagles event calendar on 16 December, indicating that we do not have a lot of open dates for a pattern contest.</div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">I realize that you are concerned about weather issues here in April, but 9/10 July will not work for us. Our club has about 130 members who enjoy a wide variety of activities during the summer months, and we have two events (a pylon race and a rocket launch) scheduled that weekend. Additionally, D7 has a contest scheduled at OCMA (Steve Hannah) on the same weekend and published their calendar in December, so our contest could not be a D7/D8 shootout.</div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="">Thanks,<div class="">Sean</div></div><div class=""><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><br class=""></div><div id="x_Signature" class=""><div class=""><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="">Sent from<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://aka.ms/weboutlook" class="">Outlook</a><br class=""></div></div></div></div><div class=""><div id="x_appendonsend" class=""></div><div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class=""><br class=""></div><hr tabindex="-1" style="display: inline-block; width: 835.9375px;" class=""><div id="x_divRplyFwdMsg" dir="ltr" class=""><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><b class="">From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>NSRCA-dist8 <<a href="mailto:nsrca-dist8-bounces@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-dist8-bounces@lists.nsrca.org</a>> on behalf of John Bentley via NSRCA-dist8 <<a href="mailto:nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a>><br class=""><b class="">Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Tuesday, February 1, 2022 8:27 PM<br class=""><b class="">To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><<a href="mailto:nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a>><br class=""><b class="">Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[NSRCA-dist8] 2022 Schedule</font><div class=""> </div></div><div class="x_BodyFragment"><font size="2" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><div class="x_PlainText"> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br class="">Hi all, after talking to the Cd's here is a tentative contest schedule for<br class="">the<br class="">year 2022. This schedule took into account the weather conditions for each<br class="">contest venue. Last year we had weather issues at some contests and this<br class="">schedule will hopefully rectify those issues. We will also have the D8<br class="">championship at a central location in Redmond as they have lifted the 400 ft<br class="">requirement.<br class=""><br class="">The opening contest will be at the Tri Cities, WA location. Bill Bowen has<br class="">agreed<br class="">to host the judging seminar at his contest. I will run the seminar which will<br class="">start at 8am on<br class="">Saturday and finish at noon. The seminar will include active panel judging of<br class="">each and every class. Up to 6 judges will judge each demo flight and an<br class="">active<br class="">discussion will occur after the flight. We did this at the Boise contest last<br class="">year and it was very successful as a learning tool. We will need at least one<br class="">pilot from each class to fly their pattern and be judged. The main contest<br class="">will start at 1pm after lunch and fly 2 rounds on Saturday and 4 rounds on<br class="">Sunday.<br class="">Please visit the NSRCA site and review the judging criteria and re-certify as<br class="">a judge.<br class=""><br class="">Schedule:<br class=""><br class="">May 21/22 Tri Cities, Washington<br class="">June 25/26 Boise ,Id<br class="">July 9/10 Medford, Oregon D7/8 Shootout<br class="">July 23/24 Redmond, Oregon<br class="">August 13/14 Becks field , Oregon<br class="">September 3/4 Mollala, Oregon<br class="">September 24/25 Redmond, Oregon D8 Championship contest<br class=""><br class="">Thanks to all<br class="">John<br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">NSRCA-dist8 mailing list<br class=""><a href="mailto:NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" class="">NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a><br class=""><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8" class="">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8</a><br class=""></div></span></font></div></div><span class="">_______________________________________________</span><br class=""><span class="">NSRCA-dist8 mailing list</span><br class=""><span class=""><a href="mailto:NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" class="">NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a></span><br class=""><span class=""><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8" class="">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8</a></span><br class=""></div></blockquote></div></div></div><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">_______________________________________________</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; float: none; display: inline !important;" class="">NSRCA-dist8 mailing list</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="mailto:NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">NSRCA-dist8@lists.nsrca.org</a><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" class=""><a href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" class="">http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-dist8</a></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
