NCFRgal's Scale Aerobatic NATS Perspective

[Wayne]

How about a calender where events can be marked down on.
Lots of online calenders out there to use.

Thats a great idea! We should have one...

Guys we dont need any finger pointing and lets accept that this one fell through the cracks for what ever reason. I can also accept some of the blame for not ringing the alarm bells as I was following NCFR GALS thread and never gave it a second thought. I am normally in daily contact with Steve and in fact we were looking for some articles to load into the breach. We stuffed up!!! Sorry, honestly.

One things for sure is we have a calendar and its available to all and anyone to mark up their events. The other 100% fact is not every event is going to get coverage from staff but that does not mean someone who wants to get some publicity for that event cant bang off an email to Steve or put a contact in the system to wake us up to it. You dont know how darned hard it is to find fresh material to keep that front page interesting some times. Often the stories are right under our noses but we cant see the forest for the trees.

FG has one paid guy, everyone else here does because we like it. Steve actually done it because he liked it until the site went pro so to speak and it needed a bum in a seat to do so.

Getting Steve to an event is not cheap and I can vouch that any change out of $1500 to $2000 would not buy you enough beers to get plastered. So the events he needs to cover are the high profile ones or the events needed to push the site and pay back the members in some way. The Huckfests are a way of doing that.

Gents, I think its time to sip on a cold drink, realize we stuffed up on the IMAC part of the Nats that we all should have been on top of and lets make sure we get better at doing these important ones as a result.

Your dues are paid by the companies that advertise...Companies advertise when they feel they can reach their target audience.
