Thanks Kurt! Toby....

A few of the Contest Directors have already submitted their contest date requests to the North Central Region on www.mini-iac.com

I will not be approving those at this time as the turn over of Region Directorship is coming up soon. I felt it best to leave the "approval process" to the new RD. I didn't want to approve any events, then possibly toss the ball to Wayne with "potential lead in it" !!

Thanks to Wayne and Ed for tossing their hats in the ring for a "leadership challenge". This does show we have eager people among us to help us all have a good time.

I have been updating the NC "home page" for Wayne with pics and info on some of the "assistant RD team" he is putting together, and with any other info he has.

I hope to remain in the loop "behind the scenes" as much as possible and remain always available to help.

Bob

Thanks again Bob, for all your hard work.

Wayne Matthews and a small team he organized are currently working on a new powerpoint presentation that specifically covers judging criteria for each Known figure in all of the 2009 sequences (Basic through Unlimited). Hopefully that will be available in the early spring as an additional resource to help educate all of us on how to judge sequences as accurately as possible.

Tom Wheeler and I have been hosting/organizing judging seminars for the past six years in the NC region and are getting a little burned out. We told Bob Hudson this last spring and he sent some new recruits from our region to the National Judging School held in the SE region in the spring 08. Hopefully they will be organizing some of the judging school(s) in our region for spring 2009!

I too developed powerpoint presentations for reading aresti and one on judging but I haven't updated the judging one. It was a lot of work but its now on CD and available to any group that wants a copy in Canada. Since Wayne does such a good job with the sims of each routine, perhaps this could be incorporated into the presentations some how? Rick Kroeze was one of the lucky dogs who went to the Judging School last year. I was asked but had other commitments.
To run a seminar I would like to have stick planes to give out. Maybe Aeroworks could be persuaded to offer a discount on bulk orders of these for such seminars?
So much to do...so little time

Thanks Bob.
I know everyone appreciates all your effort over the last two years.

Wayne,

Could The Lincolnland IMAC Challenge have July 11th and 12th?

Thanks,

Bruce Kern

I believe we are good with the 5th and 6th of Sept. for the Crossroads IMAC Wayne.

Bruce and Tim,

Got you guys down for those weekends.

Anyone heard when NATS are.

Will these dates conflict with the NATS?

27/28 - 6th Southern Ohio IMAC Challenge. Peebles, OH
*June 29-July 2nd AMA IMAC Nationals.

Wayne, looking at the two dates above, are those going to stand the way they are scheduled now ? Its around 195 miles from Toby's to Muncie, 3 1/2 hour drive...gonna be rough leaving a contest on Sunday afternoon/evening and driving straight to the Muncie for the NATS to start Monday morning.

Unfortunately, scheduling the contests has nothing to do with how easy it is for people to make them.

July 4th and 5th is now an open weekend.

G'day Wayne!
Congratulations on your NC-RD win!

Chatham will hold the CAN-AM again on the same weekend as usual- Sept 12-13, 2009.

Let's hope we're not completely rained out again next year!

Thanks and best regards,
Don
