[RCSE] CVRC Landing area at Visalia Friday Problem.

[Larry Taylor]

Hi Bob! I'm sending this out to those that are coming to Visalia next week also....   You made a good point. If there is a problem like this again ask any of our club members and we will make them move. The landing area is for everyone. We must work together so all can enjoy the up coming events. On Friday we do set up the landing area for the weekend and it will get crowded. You will have to put up with some crowding. Thursday would be better if you can come down earlier. Friday has always been a bad day. We are trying something new this year. We are not using pins this year. We have a board that you put your AMA card in and if your card is in the slot you have the Channel. This will let all pilots know who has the channel. If there is a card behind yours please use the PA and let them know that its available. We will use the PINs during the contest.   We have had to many get shot down on Friday from pilots just turning on the Tx in the Pits. No one knows who has the pin and people get upset. Pilots have to police them self's. We hope this will help solve the problem also. We can't run an impound during the week we can control it during the contest.    Larry Taylor  KF6JBG Assistant CD CVRC Visalia Fall Festival 2003 Oct 4th & 5th Club Web is http://www.cvrcsoaring.com  ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob W To: Larry Taylor Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2003 12:05 AM Subject: GRASS Hi Mr. Taylor, I have been coming to Visalia for many years now, and I have always had a great time. CVRC puts on an outstanding 2-Day event. But last year on Friday I set up my winch & retriever in the dirt along side your winch area, (like always) I and my club and others could not land on the grass alone side the landing spots-Because there where a few men launching & landing with a Hi start. (Across the area) and they had no intension of moving---Forcing every one else to land in the DIRT. I hope you can do something about this problem; I come to have a GOOD TIME & not argue or with anyone. Your Truly, B.W.
