Last years event was a terrific success with the volunteers help and a very good pilot turn out for our first time and such short notice. We had 25 registered pilots, and over $1500 worth of door prizes including 7 airframes donated by local hobby shops. DA donated $200 worth of coupons and Aeroworks dropped off a 50cc Extra. They were the biggest contributors, and we are supremely grateful for their support! Best of all we actually generated almost $100 profit for the clubs coffers!

With the big success and pilot interest there are going to be a few changes this year.

First: We are looking to change the date to August 27,28, and 29. Last year we had a conflict with the LAMA clubs annual 3D Electric event, so we are going to schedule our event for the following weekend this year. We could have had about a dozen more pilots from LAMA if we would have known about their event and planned around it.

Second: We are going to get this event AMA sanctioned so we can advertise in MA and with the added days we should be able to entice more out of state-ers to come out! Last year we had an entire family of fliers drive down from North Dakota! Chris and I are going to apply for our CD's and hopefully we will not need to ask any of the clubs current CD's to volunteer. We are getting started on the application process.

Third: We are hoping to use both fields for this years event. The only complaint we received last year was from a few of the Giant Scale guys. They were intimidated by the number of smaller glow and electric planes that filled the sky, and did not want to risk their $6000 airframes with a pile of $200 planes flopping around. We are hoping to use the West field for the smaller aircraft, and let the Pro Bro's gas and go all day long!

Fourth: Last years T-shirts were well appreciated, but Sportline was very difficult to work with, and was a little spendy. This year we plan on using vistaprint.com to make color shirts with a back and a front panel for even less then we spent on them last year.

Fifth: We are going to up the pilot free to $25 to include a T-shirt and lunch on Saturday. We have notdecided what to do about Sunday's meal, or just let the attendees fend for themselves.

Finally, we would like to organize a raffle for the best door prize. If Aeroworks steps up again I would really like to try and generate some more money for the club. We would have last year, but had no idea we would get such a terrific response from the sponsors!

Daniel has expressed his intention to dedicate a website to the event for promotions, registrations, and media. Daniel please chime in when you can, and I'm sure we'll be talking at the next meeting.

Thank you, and carry on!
