USA Team Selection for Mongolia

I would like to congratulate the United States Free Flight team for a job well done in France! In case you have been in a cave over the past few days our team flew very well. They were just four seconds shy of a full team max out and secured the Challenge France trophy for the first time. In addition to the challenge trophy the F1B team won Gold and the F1C team took the Bronze. Brian Pacelli, competing as the reigning Junior F1B champion, won the Bronze medal in the individual competition. Well done guys.
It is now time to begin the process for selecting a team to go to Mongolia in 2015. The August 31 deadline is fast approaching for submissions proposing a site for our finals. I have pasted the guidelines from the program below.

Thermals,

Blake Jensen
FFTSC Chairperson

SEN, the problem ?

  Roger
 
Perhaps a daft question, but are the electronic police big brother surveillance geezers interpreting "SEN info" as deviant SIN ful behaviour or portal to the same during their well publicised eaves dropping activities?
 
Time for a name change perhaps to save you time and hassle.
 
Kind regards
 
 
Nick



Editors comment - Nick ... the problem is not any of our respective big brothers or 3 letter agencies, it the self righteous mail providers who are protecting you from spam and the like.  people who are typically critical of the 3 letter agencies  , that laterr have probably determined we are harmless in the grand scheme of thimgs.  I will discuss the name with my provider.



Congrats to Roy

Please, if you can, give my most enthusiastic congratulations to Roy Summersby!
