PatternCombatKid,
I can't argue with you about attracting lots of folks if we do all the classes, however, my intent is to introduce combat to this region using RCCA rules while being as inclusive as possible. Since this will NOT be a sanctioned event and nor will we meet the NPS requirements, I'm calling it an informal bout. Still haven't decided on a date in the Spring, but once I do, I'll post it here for info.
With you being in Newport News, on Saturday, 5 Feb, my club will be hosting our annual Chili Fly In, where we do intend to fly some combat rounds. If you are into combat, grab any ole combat plane and come on out and join us for some impromptu combat. Please keep in mind at this fly in we are inviting all the other clubs in the area to come on out and fly with us, enjoy some HOT CHILI and work in some combat bouts as we can. Any combat we do get in will be for bragging rights, and we will be using streamers which the club will provide. Hope to see you out there.
If you have experience in FORMAL combat, please use this forum to provide suggestions. I'm very open to your ideas.
Gary
