Default Contest Reporting (in "Soaring" mag)

In defense of the current Soaring Editor,
He is an editor, not a writer. Don't know for sure, but I would assume that his expense money budget for actually venturing out to do some reporting, is somewhere in between nothing, and not enough.
To a large degree he can only work with what just happens to show up in his e-mail.
So if you don't like what's in the magazine, well just show us how it's done and submit your own article.

I'm with you on a good story is better than a just the facts reporting of the scores. Something like Skip Calling for a retrieve from the grocery store on a non flying day is always going to be much more interesting, than we didn't fly today.

Anybody want to write up the 2016 SSA Convention in Greenville? At this point not sure if it would be a tragedy or a comedy so any potential writer should be able to commit to being flexible.

To keep it from being a tragedy, we need you guys to show up.

SF
