FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Hi Guys<BR><BR>Well, I tried, I've extended the response
deadline twice and I still have only 13 responses and two of those are
tentative and one of them is me. Like I said in the earlier posts, this
is a busy field with 400 members and although the club supports organized
contests like this I cannot, in good conscience, close the field for the
weekend for this small a group. So, although I hate to do it consider
the pattern contest Nov 1 & 2 canceled, we'll try again next year.
<BR><BR>Mike, Brian please put a not out to the club membership that the field
will be open that weekend and thanks for your support, maybe next
year.<BR><BR>Steve Klaus, please put this out to your list, again we'll try
next year.<BR><BR>Bob Whitacre<BR><BR>

TYPE="CITE"><BR>Hi Guys<BR><BR>OK, the deadline (Wednesday Sept 3) has come
and gone and I have only 12 responses (and that's counting myself). I
really don't want to cancel this so I'm going to assume that you guys really
want a contest and have just not responded!! I'm going to extend the
deadline for response to Wednesday 9 Sept. Hope to hear from you, if
not, I tried.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Bob Whitacre<BR><BR><BR><BR>

TYPE="CITE">Hi guys, It's Sunday, 3 days to go, and I still have only 11
responses so not looking good. If you guys want a contest you need
to respond so I know.. If you are sitting back and thinking everyone
else will respond so I don't have to commit, it aint happening. I
really hate to see the contest canceled, but I can't shut the field down
for 11 guys. If you respond I will hold it (as compared to if you
build it/hold it they will come)

TYPE="CITE"><BR>Hi guys, we are at 10 and counting, need 24 or more to
hold this. <BR><BR><BR>Hi guys<BR><BR>The Morgan Hill contest
date is coming up (Nov 1 &2). This is a great field, big
pit, big runway, etc Now for the bad news, we still have the
over flight problem on the left box. The reality is that if you
are in the box you are golden, but if you push out of the box you will
be over the RED zone to the left. This is a situation that, as
CD, I have no control over and I will enforce the left box
ruthlessly. <BR><BR>That said I'm convinced we can hold the
contest and have a rippin' good time, we held the district
championships there, last year, under the same "over flight
conditions" and there was no issue with the box/overflight, no
complaints, so it can and has worked. So here's the deal, those
of you who are planning to attend need to contact me, ASAP, if I get
24 or more potential attendees I will hold the contest, as
planned. I need to make a decision by Wednesday, 3 Sept.
I'm looking forward to the contest, but this is a busy field, with 400
members so I don't want to shut it down for a low turn out, so put it
on your calendar and let's go fly some airplanes :-)<BR><BR>Bob
