Oct Update D2
The District championships have come and gone. Great job Terry and Bill. Certainly was a success with 29 Pilots in attendance. I noticed all class, except Advanced were well represented. There are quite a few Intermediate pilots flying very well and I am hearing rumors one or two are thinking about moving up. Come on up we would be glad to have you. Terry ran the contest using a championship format. Because this was the D2 championship this method did indeed fit. This allowed Sunday to actually be totally new contest. Saturday’s rounds were brought forward by taking the average of your best three rounds and posting that score as part of your Sunday rounds. A total of three rounds were considered on Sunday with the lowest dropped. Talk about some very close scores by the time finals were posted! Buff has those numbers already up so take a look under contest results.
I try to stay positive in my thoughts and actions. District 2 turnouts at contest are definitely making me feel very positive. We as a district are starting to see and make changes. Several new pilots that are really interest in our part of the hobby are showing up at all contests. Along side these new pilots’ veteran pilots are helping them. I believe this is why we are making progress. My phone is ringing a little more often and email traffic is improving. More and more people I talk to are thinking about giving Pattern a try. Let’s keep it going. I expect to see everyone at Green Sea 14th and 15th of Nov. I’m sure George will keep us moving. By the way Buff promised me good weather. 76 degrees and 5 mph winds-Buff I’m counting on you. Don’t forget district championship trophies will be awarded (current standings). Before I close I want to thank Charles Simmons again for his great attitude and his contributions to District 2 Pattern. It was a pleasure to award him the D2 fellowship award for 2009. Great job Charles!
Just a quick addition. I'm sure everyone by now has notice the Kfactor article was a repeat of last months. I had submitted a new article that was simply not printed. Hope to get this straightened out.
Until Nov.
