<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Gray:<BR><BR>Yes, that's what happened to my
club. I am the newsletter editor, and we finally went to an
on-line newsletter. Sure, it's only a 4-pager, but it is still a
hassle when you have to copy/stamp/mail over 200 issues
by yourself! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We are now down to less than 50 members that we have
to mail to. Keep in mind that this is LA (Lower Alabama) and
nobody likes to learn new things, like computers. Heck, even our
"seasoned" veterans are using the net!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I think we need a change to avoid the past problems

<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The cost of NSRCA dues
should be related to pattern promotion, not K-Factor publication. I have
never been one of the types that anxiously awaits the K-factor, and until
this thread I had not realized that I had not received one since the NATS.
The $35/year dues is not anything compared to the cost of the planes or
even one servo that we fly. I would suggest to those that regard the
K-Factor as what they get for $35 to re-think the reason for the NSRCA
which in reality is to make sure that we the pattern flyers have a voice
and consistency across the nation in what we do. The local contests for
most part exist because of the NSRCA. Without it there would be some
contests but if you look the guys putting on the contests they are
not paying $35/year simply for a mag-they do it to promote pattern.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>As far as the electronic format goes it
should be a priority as it saves money and labor. Had the same problem in
my local club 2 out of 125 did not have computer access and fought
to keep our club newsletter the same ole format. Electronic format
K-Factor will win by default faster than Tony Stillman because no one will
step up and deal with it the publication effort-but they will whine.
Tony-you have my vote for sure -thanks!<BR><BR><BR><BR>Gray
