[LASS Soaring] Fwd: [RCSE] LOFT 2007 Contest

[Brian Kopke]

Sounds like Tony is willing and able and I am at least willing.  I will be
able if time permits.  I am sure others will be as well.  Once we get the
first couple the rest should be easy (more CD's = more chances to have
contests = more opportunities for people to officiate).  Plus that takes the
burden off of Ed being the only(?) CD we have currently.  I will study the
contest calendar and find some available dates for possible club events.  I
will list them here later for review.
