Greetings again Region 5 clubs,

Several things to talk about this month...  First off, many of you have recently received the Fact Sheet for your club, which has been updated by me to the most recent information provided by IPMS/USA and your DLC.  Those of you who have not received yours yet, you will in the next few days.  This has been a considerable task for the RC's, as it all is done by hand, one person at a time.  Please help me out and update your sheet with any changed info, make sure your officers are all current on their memberships, and email the FS back to me.  This will greatly help in the re-chartering process, which begins Oct 1.  Thanks for your cooperation!

 

***Okay, I need to stress again on the process for scheduling your contests for next year.  Chapter Contacts - please please make sure this info is shared with your clubs.  Here it is in black and white:  My policy is first come, first served for reserved dates.  Get your requests in as early as possible, the earlier you request, the better chance you have at securing your desired date.  Many dates are already booked, as a few of you have found out.  I can't think of any way to be more fair than that.  There are a lot of clubs in Region 5, and scheduling can be a nightmare.  I'm not trying to make any enemies here, but I do intend on sticking to my guns on this policy.  PLEASE, get your requests in as soon as possible.  And I stress again, you MUST get RC approval for your event date first.  Once RC approval is granted, you may submit your event on the IPMS/USA website and to the Journal.  Also, you must use the Event Submission Form as is on the "Upcoming Events" page on the IPMS/USA web site. This is the only form that can be used, the ones that you might have saved, the old "Event Submission Sheets" are obsolete and should be deleted. The old sheet does not have the all of the (insurance/facility) information that the new ones does.

 

Can you tell there has been some dust-ups on event submission?  :)
