color=#000000>The <EM><STRONG>Pocono Pattern Contest</STRONG></EM>, in the
Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (Pennsylvania), is just a few weeks
away, on June 28th-29th. Check-in begins at 8:30 AM. Pilots meeting will
be at 9:30 AM. Flying will start at around 10:00 AM due to the early
morning sun. We shouldn't have any problem getting in three rounds on Saturday,
and two more on Sunday. We will be running two flight lines.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

color=#000000><STRONG><U>Special Notice</U></STRONG>: For the Sportsman
class (401) only, the AMA weight limit will be increased to 15-pounds. I
don't want any noisy giants, though I've gotten some special requests from
people who want to try pattern but only have slightly overweight sport-scale ARF
models. The more the marrier, and if we can encourage new interest in the sport
then the better will be for everyone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#000000>Registration is $30.00 for both
days. Food concessions will be on hand with the usual BBQ menu and beverages
gallor (plenty of bottled water). </FONT></DIV>
