<DIV>Was that with the new one or the test from last year?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I did the same thing last year and called AMA to confirm that it was
an error on the test. They said they would change it. I just looked at
the CD application on the AMA website and it has in fact changed. I
didn't take the test though…</DIV>

about</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>running</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>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>

up in front of my local club</FONT> <FONT face=Arial>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>

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
