Sorry. I can't contain my frustrations any longer.



Caesar Creek Soaring Club was awarded the 2015 Sports Class Nationals over a year ago with the dates set for June 22 through 3 July. Now the SSA is patting themselves on the back by scheduling the 2015 18M, Open, and Club Class Nationals at Hobbs, NM for (what dates?) - June 22 through 3 July.



For an organization that is trying to increase their contest participation, they have just hurt participation at both contests. Rather than schedule to allow you to participate in both contests; Now you have to decide which contest to go to.



I'm just shaking my head.

I think there is little meaningful conflict. It MIGHT affect 2 or 3 18M pilots, no Opens and likely only a very few Club pilots. Most of the population of Club are a bit younger with much more limited vacation than us old guys and are likely to only be able to fly one Nationals.

I look forward to being at CCSC in '15.
