As said before, I am willing to drive to where ever the nationals are, should I want to go. Location is not the biggest contributor to dwindling entries and for some reason, few seem to get this. Maybe we need to poll how many drive to nationals and how many fly as a rule. What is the percentage of flyers as opposed to drivers? But then on the list that would not reflect the general opinion of the members since the vocal minority on here is probably 30-40 people tops. If my tally is wrong correct me but that would only reflect about 1% of the membership. Last check it was still a National club. I sure hope it remains that way.
