SEN

===

This is the first issue of SEN that has been sent out by our new distribution method.

Not all of the old subscribers have confirmed their e-mails. Some more are because they

that have not actioned the confirming e-mails and some are because of the way we set

things up. We will send back number to people who were not confirmed at the time

of the send. If you have friends who are who are concerned because they are not

getting SEN they can go to www.scat-online.com and subscribe.

A small number of you will have been auto subscribed without having to confirm, but most you figured how to do the confirm that. That will be required when you change your address or someone subscribes for new. Be sure to do the confirmation online do not send an e-mail asking for it to be done. There is a URL [web address] in the e-mail, if it spreads  over two lines make sure that you have the entire address entered.

USA Junior Team Thanks

======================

George Batiuk

I'm pleased to report that I have sent $3560 to the AMA for the Junior Team

Fund. This is money that was donated at the America's Cup banquet in February.

There is about $1000 out in promised IOUs so this is a sizeable contribution.

Thanks to everyone's help we are making it closer to happen again.

Roger, I would appreciate your posting this in the next couple of

newsletters. Wanted to purchase: Doug Galbreath tach that was manufactured

a few years back. It had both audio and optical capability for RPM. Will

pay top dollar. Thanks, Joe Wagner (H) 410-778-3933 or e-mail.

U$A Team comment$

=================

At a recent SCAT meeting we were chatting about the letter that those got from

the TEAM selection program for next time. It looks like there is a conflict between

'reasonable' finals entry costs and assisting TEAM members in paying to go to the

World Champs. Except when the champs are in the USA the cost is significant. for example

this year even looking hard for cheap tickets it costs about $1500. In addition the entry

fee is often about 300 Euros and the accommodation 50 or more Euros a day. Then there is the rental car, etc . The AMA has reduced the amount they pay for team travel and

the travel costs have gone up. This is not just for Free Flight teams but for all.

They have some scheme that's based on the level of participation and we do better than the F2 guys and some of the F3 and F4 classes too.

So should we pay say $400 for the team travel or double the entry fee so we can pay $800, or would get less participation and get less money.

Note that the TEAM selection committee and Team manager both do additional fund raising [an example is the fund rising that George Batiuk mentions elsewhere in this

SEN for the Juniors] for the team and that supplements the AMA funding. That additional money can be paid to the AMA to take advantage of their tax exempt status but will be dedicated to the team fund and supplement the normal AMA funding.
