Ok... let me clarify my statement below. Rotation has always the aim but put the National in a section of the 3 rotated sections as accessable as possible to the majority of exhibitors in that region. Hub airports are becoming fewer and fewer. Driving is going to become a bigger factor. The East and West coast have been shorted up until lately as compared to the Central region where there are fewer exhibitors and less hub cities. Read my post earlier where the top exhibitor states are.

Joan The exhibitors live in every state and the PC accepts membership from any state, any country. You have a large Canadian membership......they exhibit. Should the national be in Canada then some year.....why not? I too don't want to re hash this one, but every member should be able to get to a national at least once in 5 years......rotation and participation is what will keep this club unified and not mean to exclude anyone. Flying is expensive, driving is expensive. Any way you look at it, it will cost. Bottom line.....if you want to play, you will have to pay.
