Well Chuck, mind if I take it the next step? Maybe if it were not for those pesky pilots who just want to fly in circles in the "pattern" making the 3D pilots feel unwelcome, attendance at these events might go up instead of down.

As a CD Denis, why not make it clear from the get go that all types of flying will be welcome and times set aside to meet everyones desires. This could be stated in any published notices promoting the event.

Where's Joe Looney?
