Thanks Chris, your a good man.

Well...as suspected...the long delay in my company getting back to me was not good news.....they say the facility can only be used for official company business. So I guess we are back to square one.....or headed to Wennachie....sorry guys (and girls).

Check with Denny's I Know that the Wilsonville Denny's has a meeting room (503)682-1711
You might check Woodburn also (503) 981-9738

OK, plan B. I checked Denny's in Wilsonville; I now have a room booked for 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM. The cost is $75, however, any food that is ordered is applied to that. So.... if 18 guys each order a $8 lunch (example), we have easily met the minimum. There is a mandatory 18% gratuity added to each check due to the large group. You can even order breakfast AND lunch if you want. I would assume it's BYOC for lunch/breakfast. Maybe we can score some complimentary coffee in the morning.

I think this would be easy because we wouldn't have to depart for lunch. We would just give the server a time to check on us (11:30 for example); place our food orders and keep schooling.

This is the last ditch, best effort and it's either Wilsonville, Wenatchee, or nothing for a judging school. Please respond with thoughts.

For those of us that are local, we can send the Medford guys home and hang out for some refreshments afterword! Now we are up to $30 each.

Hopefully Ill have a DD so Ill be refreshing throughout the day!

Is this school for those of you that are more advanced or can this be beneficial for a basic pilot like myself? Imac is something i would like to try and figure every little bit could help thanks.

It will be good for pilots of all skill levels......It is not only a class that teaches "judges" what to look for....it also shows the pilot how to properly fly the maneuver. Also, if you fly in a contest....it is generally assumed that you will also be tasked with judging your fellow pilots (Basic pilots are usually asked to judge the Sportsman class). The more you know about how to properly fly the maneuver and the point deductions associated with it.....the better pilot will become of you (said with a bad Yoda accent...)
