<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This message is very important for anyone planning
on attending the NSRCA District 3 Championship. The originally scheduled date
for the event was for this coming weekend, September 25th and 26th, and it was
going to be held in Pensacola, FL. As most of you already know, the area has
been severely crippled due to the winds and rain of Hurricane Ivan. Parts of the
I-10 bridge on both sides of the city no longer exist and much of the city is
without power. After speaking with Tony Stillman, we decided that it was
not a good idea to try to hold the contest this next weekend. Also, there is
concern for having the contest in Pensacola even in the coming weeks.
Although the flying field itself was not damaged, hotels are still a major
concern. Even though the city will hopefully be recovering in coming weeks and
should have power back, I felt that hotel availability may be questionable due
to workers coming in to the area and people that have been forced out of their
homes. Also, we just don't know when things will return to normal. So, the
decision has been made to move both the contest date and location.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The new contest date is October 9th-10th and the
contest is being moved to Andersonville, GA. This is a privately owned field and
the owner was gracious enough to let us use it on such short notice. Those of
you that have attended the Peach Pattern Classic know that this is a fantastic
facility with one of the nicest hobby shops located behind the flight line.
There are RV hook-ups on site and I have called four of the hotels in the area
and all have plenty of rooms available. You can print an event flyer by going to
this web address....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to apologize in advance for the
inconvenience, but I felt this was our best solution. I know many of you have
already juggled around your time off of work and family vacation to fit in this
contest. I hope you will be able to change your schedule to attend. Also, I
would like to ask any of you that have friends that are not internet users
(either don't get the NSRCA email list or don't follow RC Universe) to please
contact them and pass along this information. If you have any questions, I can
be reached at this email address...</FONT></DIV>
