about</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>running</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>a
contest from a CD's perspective. I spent some time on how to persuade a club
to let you use their field etc. Often the sticking point is that they lose
their field for two days. </FONT></SPAN></P>

face=Arial size=2> I was up in front of my local club</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
size=2>last night lobbying for a new contest and that objection came up. The
answer that worked was, "It's not really two days - the field can be opened up
about 5 PM after the first days flying and after about 2 PM on the
Sunday". I added that if they wanted clinic the week before for club
members it would be a joy to do, and the whole meeting turned around to
positive.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>(The result BTW is that there will
be a new contest called West Windsor Season Finale Pattern Contest, in NJ on
Sept 13 and 14 at a field just off of Rt. 38 with easy access from exit 4 of
the NJ turnpike and exit 43 of I-295).</FONT></SPAN></P>
