<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks to everyone for your input. Rest
assured that we will use this information and hopefully find a solution to our
attendance woes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you all don't mind, I would like to come back
after we discuss all this and ask a few more questions. I'd like to come
up with a few possible dates, run them by, and hopefully we can find a
date that would allow as many pilots as possible to attend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again thank you. You all have been a big
help. If anyone has any more to add please feel free to e-mail me. My

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Clay Schmidt and I am the President of
the Model Association of Central Kansas. MACK is a small club dead center
in the middle of Kansas. Our membership is spread over a 50 mile area
centered over the Great Bend and Larned area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This last weekend, June 21st and 22nd MACK
hosted a pattern contest. We ended up with seven contestants and two of
those contestants are club members. As you can imagine we are very
disappointed in the turn out and I was hoping that some of you that fly
pattern, and would possibly come to Central Kansas, would indulge us with
a little information or suggestions so we can increase the participation in
our contest. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've listened to a lot of speculation, and "how
comes" but I would like to hear directly from anyone why our event for
the most part was not on the "Contest Trail." Is it because you didn't
know about it? Is the date bad,,too close to other contests or in
conflict with other contests?, You don't want to come to Central
Kansas ( Rural)? Traditionally too windy? Poorly run? What
ever the reason I'd like to know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for listening and for your time.
Anyone with input can email me directly at <A
href="mailto:clay1@grapevine.net">clay1@grapevine.net</A>. Again, we
really want to host a premier event and your input could very well help us do
that.</FONT></DIV>
