All,
I have been pushing to have our main battles for the year locked up by the end
of January so people can get it on their calenders and we can avoid conflicts.
So far this year it looks like our Spring meet with be the Armed Forces Battle
May 19 and 20 at Coon Hunters in Newark and we're pushing to have the Conference
August 3, 4 and 5 also at Coon Hunters. Buddy is trying to lock down the August date.
As I said in an earlier post I think it would be good if we gave Tom a break
from hosting our big ticket item meets out there. We're still going to have some
there but they'll be either 1 or 2 day events. I know Scott, affectionately
known as Duckie, is checking into ponds up by his new home in Indiana and
several guys are checking out a pond in Versilles that Matt has access too. I
will post these on the calender and if anyone else wants host a battle just
place it in the calender and post where and when.
Prior to the Armed Forces Battle I would like to have a 1 to 2 day meet in
Xenia. This is so the new people and us veterans can get the bugs worked out of
our ships and get the pumps certified and the speed knocked down prior to our
first meet. Also we could have battles those days but the main focus of this is
so our ships are ready to go so we're not messing with them until 12:30 then
starting our first battle of the day.
So as things look now:
May 5 & 6 - Tune up meet at Tom's
May 19 & 20 - Armed Forces Battle @ Coon Hunters
August 3, 4 & 5 - Washington Treaty Conference @ Coon Hunters (?).
Buddy will supply information on Coon Hunters soon. I saw pictures of this place
and it looks like a great site.
Thanks,
Eric
