2018 Nats Trophies: Call for donations
« on: April 03, 2018, 06:51:19 PM »
We are beginning the campaign to raise funds to cover the trophies for the upcoming Nats.  The AMA buys the first several trophies for official events based on number of entries.  The rest -places up to 10th place-Pampa purchases as well as for the unofficial events.  We do not take these funds from the Pampa treasury since not all members participate at the Nats.  These funds come from personal sponsorship.  They are actually purchased through AMA so that all match and have the AMA NATS logo on them.  We really need to get our order and funds into AMA by the first week in May.  We ask that you send your donations to the Pampa Treasurer, earmarked for the trophy fund.  Send an email to Mike Strand as you make your donation to make him aware of it and if you choose to purchase certain trophies (where possible) and whether you want your name as sponsor on them or simply "Friend of Pampa,"etc.  You can send a check or use the PayPal system.  Should there be any overage of funds it will stay in the treasury for next year or  used for other Nats-related expenses.

Secretary/Treasurer Michael Strand
N2W31920 Twin Oaks Dr.
Delafield, WI  53018

Here's what we need to cover:

OPEN.....Places 8-10   8X10 plaques
Advanced......Places 6-10  8X10's
Intermediate....Sponsored (?)
Beginner.....Places 1-10  7X9 plaques
Old Time...Places 1-3  8X10s
                Places 4-10 7X9s
                Spirit of '52  8X10
Classic.....Places 1-3  8X10s
               Places 4-5  7X9s
               Pilots Choice  8X10
Nostalgia 30....Places 1-3  8X10s
                      Places 4-5  7X9s
                      Pilots Choice  8X10

If last years prices hold these were $13 + 1.40 for engraving for 7X9s,  $16 + 1.40 for 8X10s.

Please reach into your pockets and help out with this.  Thank You Very Much!

It would be appreciated if this were pinned to the top of the forum and If someone would be so kind as to transfer and post on the other websites as well since this is my only entry.

OPEN trophies places 8-10 are covered.   4/8  6:08 am. CT

I think we just need to get the Nostalgia 30 group.  I really would also like to have some extra in case there are any price increases and I'm sure there will be a few other expenses.  Anything we have will be dedicated 'NATS' cash.

I reached out to the email you posted (pampamembership@geartekinc.com) but not heard anything back yet. Willing to support a bit. Wanted to do Paypal.

Hi Shug.  I think Mike is a working stiff like some of the rest of us.  I believe the email address is also the PayPal address.  You should at any rate be able to just go to the Pampa website, punch PayPal and enter an amount.  You might then drop me a note as to your preference for trophies left.  I can let Mike know too.  Thank you Shug.

I wanted to bump this up again.  We are needing to get trophies ordered in the next two weeks or so.  I haven’t spoken to Mike Strand to know exactly where we stand but don’t think the Nostalgia 30 trophies are covered yet and we still would like to be sure we cover any cost overages and if (perhaps) somebody doesn’t quite get there promised donation in.  If you want to just put in $10.00 or $20.00 that will add up and be appreciated.

Also I was just made aware the mailed paper copy of the entry form may show a huge error about the flying schedule Tuesday- Wednesday-Thursday- Friday.  I haven’t seen one.  Nothing out of the ordinary has changed.  If you have one please take a picture of it and forward to Darrell and myself.  Thank You.

      Yes, Dave the NAT'S official event registration form does not give any information on the days C/L  PRECISION AEROBATICS Open/Adv., JR/SR competition are flown. The only thing mentioned is Walker Cup Fly-Off on Sat., July 14TH. In addition, no mention of 180 Bldg. Appearance judging on Mon., July 9, and no mention of Judges seminar rules review on Tues., July 10TH.
      However, the complete 2018 NAT'S Control Line Aerobatics official event schedule can be found under NATIONALS AEROMODELING CHAMPIONSHIP FORMS/ FORMS-DOC. and it is correct (This is not registration- its only the schedule). THE 2018 NON-SANCTIONED EVENT registration form and the 2018 official event registration form (w/ lacking C/L Precision Aerobatic info)  are listed there too.
      The 2018 Unofficial/ or non-sanctioned event registration form is correct- no problem there. If someone wants to register for control line aerobatics on the official event form (to mail it in)  that should be OK too. Darrell and several other people have communicated with AMA  to get the official event registration form corrected, just hasn't happened yet.

Thanks Doug.  I just opened the envelope AMA sent to confirm my on-line entry and the schedule therein is correct. I will assume everyone will get that.  The question came up in a written letter from a member who was afraid to send in their entry at all until the form is corrected.  I'll try to contact them and tell them no worries.  I'm sure AMA won't be mailing another round of entry forms.  In the meantime it is strongly suggested contestants arrive at the 180 building by 2:00 Monday and be on the flight line by 8:00 am Wednesday . y1
