<DIV> Hi Terry </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> The AGS contest event IS one of the best contest I have ever been to in any type of flying event. Breakfast was as good as any resturant! Pancakes toast and eggs</DIV>
<DIV>sausage juice etc etc.. Barbeque lunch also. This made it so much easier to be at the flying flied.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> .Saturdays Dinner was EXCEPTIONAL A full buffet dinner and dessert. We were amazed at the work that was put into this event.</DIV>
<DIV>The contest ran smoothly and quickly. Everyone seemed to have a great time all day.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The judges were experienced and were from a club that that have leaders who have led the National Pattern events. Who could ask for more.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to extend my thanks to Bob Noll and his club for giving up there personal time to put on this event. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I only flew one round to test out a new plane purchased that day. It was great fun and we enjoyed the weekend very much. I have the new sequel it flys PERFECT.............. </DIV>
<DIV> THANKS AGAIN to ALL of AGS</DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial>------------- Original message -------------- <BR><BR>> I just returned from my annual week in the adirondacks, camping with my <BR>> wife and another couple. We have been doing this nearly every year since <BR>> the late 70's. So I missed our AGS contest for the 2nd time in the past <BR>> 20 years. As current President, I made contact last night with one of our <BR>> key members to get the scoop. <BR>> <BR>> Much to my dismay, I was informed that we had just 21 contestants, not <BR>> including our own members. Not too many years ago we had 70, and our <BR>> average for about 15 years was in the 50's. <BR>> <BR>> I have not gotten a list of the attendees yet, but I know there were some <BR>> active competitors who did not show. This was our 49th annual holding of <BR>> this contest, and at this attendance level, I feel that our 50th may well <BR>> be the last that the organizers and the club will be willing to support. <BR>> <BR>> There was a lot of talk about attending this contest at the prior D-1 <BR>> contests and we certainly were expecting a little better support. The <BR>> club has a reputation for running a very good event, and the site is one <BR>> of the best available for a contest. Flat horizon, large fly over area <BR>> with no intimidating crops or trees. Very close to major interstate. Good <BR>> accomodations available, as well as on site camping. Good Sat evening <BR>> "banquet" included in registration fee. and lots of near-by activities <BR>> for non-flying family members to visit. We also just changed the dates a <BR>> few years ago because the first week in June found too many not quite <BR>> ready yet. We decided to go after the NATs to alow for a wind down period <BR>> for NATs competitors, and provide a good contest for those who did not go <BR>> to Muncie. The first contest in D-1 since the last weekend in June! <BR>> <BR>> Especially to all you D-1 contestants who did not attend, Just what do we <BR>> have to do to get you to come? <BR>> <BR>> Terry T. <BR>> President, Aero-Guidance Society <BR>> ===================================== <BR>> # To be removed from this list, go to http://www.nsrca.org/discussionA.htm <BR>> and follow the instructions. <BR>> </FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
