Ken: first post:
On May 20th my club (Clovis, NM Mads) and Amarillo, TX (ARKS) are having a Class C event. The Clovis event is only on Saturday and theirs is Sat and Sun.
Ken would you please specify what the events are: Yours is listed as a FLY-IN with no restrictions, while Amarillo is listed as a Fun-Fly with some competition.
In addition your event CD is one Mr. Joe Wood. You have not stated if Chief contacted Joe to see if the events on the same weekend would be acceptable. I think it might shed a better light if Joe sent you an email stating that there was never any contact or
there was contact. Chief normally has been great in contacting by either telephone or email when there is the slightest chance of a conflict unless there is some injection from above, where his hands are tied.
Then post here what Joe has to say. Joe is the CD. Once the club approves the hosting of an event The CD is the MAN when it comes to his sanctioned event. At that point any battles to fight really belong to him.
Funny thing about Chief's contacts. He asked me if it would be acceptable for an area club to have a cross country thing on my weekend for a WarBird Fly-In. I said OK but advise the club they will be missing out on a great warbird fly-in. Even before he received my email the other CD had canceled the request because his helpers, when notified of the Jetero RC WarBird event, said NO NO we are going to Jetero.
Made me feel good.
