As I have been out of action for the last couple of weeks, I can now respond to a couple remarks
Lynn---Yes I have not been directly involved with Conferance scheduling but over the last twenty something years I have been involved at times with other groups and the combined scheduling meeting at Pacific and I do know that there can be
a frustrion level that is not good. But, again, if you look over the past few years, you will see that all groups, not just conferance, have had dates that are either the same weekend or +/- a week.
Also, with a few exceptions, even the drags are on the same date(s).
So, again, I will state that if ALL groups were again to get together and start working on these dates earler in the year, I believe that things could go smother.
Rick b Your comments are well excepted and I under stand where you are coming from. I know you are doing the best that you can for IRDC and I respect that. As for SCCA being put on the calender after IRDC dates, I think you maybe mistaken as the memorial day event has been a locked in event for over twenty years except the 2-3 years during the change over from Rocksted to family run days. Also, SOVERN has also has The 4th of July instead of the last weekend.
I have also not said any thing about the inter relationships between the groups and I know that as a whole IRDC and SOVREN work well together.
As for dates moving around, it may take a couple of days, but I can go into my records and pull schedules and do a side by side. Do you have the ablity to combare?
At this time I think this is all that needs to be said and I will drop it at this point.
Just because I am not more directly involved with things in IRDC especially at the upper level, does not mean that I do not have a clue as to what is going on. This was disrespectful.
