Thanks Les.
I like it!
I had hoped to have a discussion/ decision at the KARC meeting last week
about which contest we could designate as our club contest for March.
Obviously, that discussion/ decision didn't happen.
That opens the opportunity to consider adopting a club challenge such as
this instead of a March club contest.
I wonder what others think?
Thanks gain for bringing this to our attention!!
