| SRC nightflying contestHi Scott
That is very generous of you to do so and publicly as well
So here is the idea and I will give credit to Scott for mostly coming up with it.
We are proposing to put out a donation box where guys can donate money and when I say donate, that is exactly what we mean donate money to a nightflying contest. Now some people might not be able to donate and some might not be able to donate much, but we want this idea to really grow so we are going to try it.
We will put out a lock box for the pilots to donate to the nightflying contest and at least several people each day can count the money to see how much is in the box, and on Saturday night we will give away all the money in the box to nightflying winners. Hopefully enough prize money to give away to at least 3 people. Kind of like what they do at IRCHA each year.
The contest will be open to anyone that wants to enter and we are encouraging the top pilots to enter. However to encourage more then just one or two guys entering the contest and taking home all the money, we are going divide it up at least 3 different ways, maybe more depending on how much money is in the box.
Furthermore, as I said we will count the money in the box and several people will be responsible for knowing exactly how much money is in the box, that way everyone can be assured that all the money being put in the box is being used for the night flying contest. However, we would like to keep it a secret as to how much money is there until the contest, but we might give out a tease
It is nice that Scott has said he will donate 50 dollars, although we don't expect that much from everyone one. I will also put in some money myself maybe 20 or 30 dollars as well.
Now to further encourage people to donate to the box, all those that do donate will be given an opportunity to vote on the night fly winner.
Plus, we are hoping to have an official sponsor of the event and give out some sort of ticket or tickets (perhaps according to how much you are able to donate) to everyone that donates for some kind of nice prize, therefore giving the guys even more of a reason to donate.
We can have a drawing for this prize just prior to the night fly.
Finally, we will probably start taking up the donations at the registration and if for some reason the weather forecast calls for terrible weather that Saturday night we might do it Friday night or cancel it all together if we don't think it will work out all, but rest assured we definitely will try to get the contest done.
Hopefully this is the start of something big!!!!!
