Notes:

•  Only one other bid was received, from Ely Soaring for the Opens/20 Meter Two place contest. We decided to wait on Ely till they have hosted at least one regional.

•  Uvalde Soaring has not yet submitted a written bid, but has made a verbal commitment. (Bid should be in hand by late Jan 2005)

•  Opens are with the 18's, this seems to have worked well before, and only one or two pilots will be inconvenienced by it.

•  Charlie Spratt will be one busy guy.
