Whenever possible, let's consider bringing back the one day contests. Some clubs do it with success . I'm familiar with the long distance drive concerns , the problem with the number of pilots on the flight line , and everyone's wish to have a half dozen flights. I , personally , could live with 3 flights and like having one more day in my weekend to do whatever. In the mid 60s and early 70s, I did on average 10 -14 one day Ukie meets or so a year - flew Stunt , Combat , and occasionally Carrier or Balloon Burst . God , we had enormous turnouts and large groups of spectators- some of whom got introduced to and got into the hobby. Of course , my buddies and I had the energy to pit and run around like crazies; ah youth ! But one day for one event ain't unreasonable and it just might increase pattern participation. Just my 2 cents.
