Ray, I could not agree with you more. We simply have to do a better job of
letting the public at large know we out here. How many times have you been
to a fun fly or a contest and a random visitor says, "I didn't know that you
guys were out here". The more people that are aware of us, the more fellow
flyer's we will have. It's up to us to make people aware, get the word out,
evangelize. Get to your local radio and TV stations and let them know every
time you have an event, find websites that post local events and post them,
brochures in all of the hobby shops and tell your friends what you do too.
Be proud!
After listening to all the recent posts, each person should be encouraged
to do their own thing. If you like flying a woodie, fly a woodie, if you
like unlimited SMOM, do that, if you like 2M, fly 2M's, but for heavens
sake, do not condemn someone for doing what they like, let them do what they
like and you do what you like. And it might help everyone if we supported
each other too.
Lets fly and be HAPPY! (sounds like a good song to me)

Subject: [RCSE] Re: Contest Format
Will it matter what the format is... if very few, if any, show up to
compete?
I think it is pretty easy to get bored and wish for new contests
formats, I think it is very hard to recruit new guys to flying ... which
is the only way we are going to increase contest attendance.
How much engergy, time ( time on the internet ) and prorgams are used
to attract new people???
Do Club's have a plan they implement continually to attract new people
???
Recruiting is the hard part but, very positive for the sport.
