<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To all:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks again. The group from District 1 makes the
time and effort required to put on a contest a pleasure. It was good to see
everyone finally enjoying a sun filled day versus dodging rain drops like we
have all year. The 20 foot off the deck full scale show was the icing on the
cake. I'm certain we'll do it again next year, maybe even make it a 2 day
affair, maybe. If you have an opinion/preference for a 1 day or 2 day
event, email me privately. I'm open for any and all suggestions, again, email me
privately. </FONT></DIV>

UPDATE !!! WE ARE ON FOR THIS SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6th !!!!!!!!! (fwd)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>The BDS Challenge went off without a hitch on the rescheduled
date of 6 <BR>September after being rained out the previous weekend. The
weather was perfect <BR>and the BDS field is unquestionably one of the best
flying sites I have seen in <BR>the northeast. HUGE thanks to Ed Miller
and the BDS Squadron for organizing <BR>and hosting the event
(twice!!).<BR><BR>Competition was very tight in Advanced and Masters, and Ed
managed to get 4 <BR>rounds in for all contestants. For those who did
not make the event, you might <BR>want to seriously consider adding to your
calendar for next year (yes Ed, we <BR>want to come back next
year).<BR><BR>And for those that stayed a bit late, the local cropduster
(Agwagon bipe) and <BR>an Aeronca put on an imprompt airshow - very LOW level
passes over the roads, <BR>behind the buildings, around trees, follow the
leader, etc - and the Aeronca <BR>even made a quick landing and
takeoff.<BR><BR>Thanks again to the BDS for hosting a great event.<BR><BR>Dave

-0400<BR><BR>Well it was bound to happen, the soggy year of 2003 has finally
succeeded in <BR>POSTPONING a District 1 pattern contest that was scheduled
for today, Monday <BR>September 1st. For all of you that made the drive I
thank you for your support. <BR>It was obvious to me as I left my home today
at 5:30am for the field that the <BR>weather gods would have their way and we
were not going to get the BDS Pattern <BR>Challenge in today and I'm sure all
of you brave and supportive contestants and <BR>BDS club members felt the
same. HOWEVER, the BDS club president, Thomas <BR>Milidantri and BDS Board,
after hearing of the nearly 30 contestants that showed <BR>up this morning at
the BDS field in support of this event, has made the decision <BR>the BDS
PATTERN CHALLENGE WILL HAVE A RAIN DATE of this Saturday, September 6th,
<BR>2003. My sincere thanks to the BDS Board and BDS members for their
tremendous <BR>support. So lets make the most of our second chance and all get
together this <BR>Saturday, September 6th !!!!!!!!! Please pass on the word
!!!!!!!!!<BR>Thanks again..............Ed Miller. <BR><BR><BR><BR>
