-Our club has done a "Pot Luck" dinner to make it easier with the food end. Club buys the hambugers/hot dogs and everyone brings
a dish to share......if everyone brings bake beans....then we eat lots of bake beans !!!! Its a "pot Luck!" To encourage people to come
and bring a dish, we gave out entry tickets for a plane that was donated by Horizon Hobby:
If you show up for the event= 1 ticket
If you bring a dish to share = 5 tickets
Every time you fly= 1 ticket
Every flying contest you enter= 2 tickets
And then you can also sell tickets too. Had some smaller prizes too.

We tried to keep the contest simple so that any skill level member could be in.

Family member team games can be made up; Wife/girfriend needs to start the plane with no help from the pilot....pilot then needs to
do three loops and land.....best time wins

One event is a real hoot: All planes go up in the air........music is playing.......when the music stops, last plane landing is out! Music plays again and everyone left in the game goes back up. When you have ten planes up in the air at one tme and the music stops....it fu to see them all scramble and head for the runway. (use your beater plane !!!)

If you can get a club member to be the annoucer and he/she can keep it interesting and lively with the comments!

Good luck.....some work but well worth it if you plan.
