Bob happy to have you.  Just be at the Monday meeting.  You’ll be given marching orders there.

  Gotta go to appearance judging on Monday, as noted.

Where will that be Dave?

[Dave_Trible]

The plan for that is the big tent which will be set up at the LPad.  I elected to do this so we aren’t all inside and couldn’t know if the 180 would be possible under the circumstances.  You could fly right up to then and right after without having to leave the field.

Since this was to be my first Nats since the mid 60's I am particularly interested in how things go and how I would have fit in/or out.  A fire wiped me out so here I sit.  Is anybody planning to run updates like they did in the past?

Ken that has sort of been my ‘job’ for the last number of years.  I’m going to be a little busy but maybe I can do some.  If he is there I expect Chris Rud will have the scores going on the PAMPA website.  Sparky may also have his live cam going.  Somehow we will get news out.

Dave has done a great job of keeping us peasants up on all the happenings at the Nats.

Thanks, Dave.

what time Monday

[Dave_Trible]

I haven’t settled on 2:00 or 2:30 yet.  I will post the schedule in a few days.  Just plan on spending the afternoon Monday at the LPad.

Dave

[Dave_Trible]

Someone just mentioned they may have a schedule conflict if we go at 2:00 so let’s begin at 2:30.

Dave

[bob whitney]

we both have the same conflict

[Dave_Trible]

I heard Mouse was moved to AM so OK now?  I hope to get a schedule put up later today (if the dentist doesn't TOTALLY ruin my day) but let's say you can begin to process your planes and check in at 2:30 pm until everyone is in, then we'll begin the meeting.  I expect that will be historically short then you can get back to practice.  The count seems to be large enough we will use the full-week program without trying to compress qualifying.  I will be losing one tabulator for Saturday morning so might be recruiting.  I don't know yet Wes' plans for the judges meeting.  He may chime in here if he reads this.  He wanted to see if it were possible to hold that at the McCollough building next to the museum if they'd allow to get away from the field noise etc. It may be a bit for those details but the judges are working within their own info-bubble right now so no worries.

BTW another topic:  Chris has the next decade-the 80's- of old Stunt News uploaded on the PAMPA website.  I think just about another 14 years worth left to go and the entire collection will be complete and in that library.
