TYPE="CITE">I don't see the conflict here with all these threads. DOES IT
MATTER WHEN <BR>YOU PAY YOUR DUES? As long as the NSRCA gets the full
amount. The money goes <BR>in the same pot and does the same good in
September as it does in January. <BR>If everyone did this it would create
problems,however, this is one case.We <BR>don't prorate the dues. At least
the guy paid and it doesn't matter what the <BR>motive was for not paying.
He evidently was good enough to win and that is <BR>important. I think he
should be welcomed into the organization. I also think <BR>this discussion
about him could run him off (if it hasn't already) to never <BR>fly with us
again. Has competition put blinders on us? We need to cool it <BR>with this
discussion.<BR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>Wow . We gained one member who figured out
a way to " BUY " the district championship with his membership dues . So what
? How about the member who has been paying his dues for years and gets
shafted out of the championship ? Guess what ? There is a greater chance
that the shafted member won't return next year and he will probably be able to
convence at least one of his pattern buddies not to either . Do the math then
, and you see minus numbers in the so called " same pot " .<BR><BR>Sorry
. But I will take my chances running off the prospective member , who probably
would not have joined if he would not have won the championship , as opposed
to running off members who have been supporting the organization . <BR><BR>"
Has competition put blinders on us ? " No ! But for
$30.00 , money sure has ! <BR><BR>Robert Gainey</FONT>
