Once again another speaks out that not all pattern flyers are NSRCA members! Sounds
like a recurring theme? We all know the reasons.... they
have been hashed many times....I think part of our problem is we believe
that we(NSRCA) are the sole keeper of the flame....and to be honest....We
are not. We were invited to the game. We did start it, and we won't be
finishing it either. Sure we can take our marbles and go home but
that doesn't serve anyone's interest. We did that in 94 with the N-PAC
event. I'm curious why we as the NSRCA are so close minded to
non-NSRCA members......? Does our $30 a year give us the right make
rules and exclude others from having input on the subject.....This is all
done under the holy veil of membership.....This exclusion of non-members
is what is driving us down...not because we don't have sexy website...or
we don't have a perfect KF, or we don't have press recognition in the magazines,
or because we are not quick enough in changing our sequences in order to
compete with the other Aerobatics kid in town. I think we are
so concerned about new members...me included that we don't include people
that are not members...The answer is "Well Join up and get the info." I've
been guilty of this also...Maybe we need to open our doors and open our
minds....If we invite the neighborhood in with the idea of a BBQ....and
expect them to bring all the food how many will show? We need to give
them a reason to be here and not a reason to stay away! Thanks
for sticking with us Chuck!!!! We are glad to have you and your insight. <span class=041163417-11122002></span></blockquote>
