Never assume.... Some stats from my geographical (urban) area.
Clubs within 15 minute drive; Ajax, Seaton, Whitby, Toronto, Toronto Heli, Aurora, Pickering all averaging just under 100 members, "all this from an urban area of 500,000". What's more, I meet many of these very people at meets several hundred kms away (Kitchener, Chatham, Tillsonburg, Leamington etc.), and that's just my little urban centre just outside the NE edge of the 4.5million population of Toronto.
Jim, that'st still over 70,000 population per club without including the 1.4 million next door (essentially in the same area). My opinion of influence within the communities in smaller centres still stands. Besides,
All members who travel to regional events, be they in Toronto or BC or Sask..........
'meet many of these very people at meets several hundred kms away'........
All have to come from a minimun of hundreds of kms away. Regardless, modelers,
ALL modelers, from
All regions of Canada are a motivated bunch and should not be marginalized (along with their ideas) because of geography. [/quote]

Whatever.... I tire of the endless banter. Enjoy your MAAC bashing at all our expense[>:]....
...... translated, he tires of me not agreeing with him and now reverts to a personal shot resulting from frustration.
Jim, a hint; It really doesn't help your position when you revert to making things personal when faced with ideas that differ.

I'm off to the workshop to safety my fleet for the season opener and plan my contest schedule for this summer ... I hear there's a new scale contest up north.[8D]
Jim, Good luck. Keep the wheels on the bottom side when landing.
