Already heard that, but what I found unusual was that nobody asked where LDRS 40 is going to be....

Did any eastern prefectures even put their name in the hat for consideration?

 

[jimzcatz]

Probably not

Lets split this out, I will start a new thread for next years LDRS. Congratulations to the new and re-elected Board members.

Oregon is a bridge too far for me as well. However, I just read the 2022 NSL is on Sumter, SC. And, there is always Air Fest, a 1.5 to 2 day drive from those of us who live in the Deep South.

I can barely do LDRS next year. The timing is bad for me. I plan on attending the NSL 2 weeks prior and I have an RC airplane pattern contest the next weekend in Andersonville, GA. I could make the drive in 3 and 1/2 days, but that puts me in motels for 11 nights, and 10 tanks of gas. I ran a simple spreadsheet and it'll run me 3K just for gas, meals, and motels. And this expense right after the NSL and the Peach Pattern Contest. Also, If I go to all three, I'd be out of the office for three weeks.

I'm planning on going to Air Fest instead next year. Hopefully, 2023's LDRS will either be in the eastern or central US.

For those who'd like to see LDRS hosted on the east coast, the best thing you can do is become active in your local club and work on a hosting option with them.

In this case, the Oregon group stepped up and put in a bid. Rather than complain about how far away Oregon may be for you, let's applaud them for stepping up. They're going to be doing a lot of work over the coming months, to get things ready for those who attend.

Well said. It was posted previously none of the Eastern clubs submitted bids. Clubs that don't submit bids don't get selected selected to host LDRS.

You will probably find that Airfest is damn near everything LDRS is. I did not believe it until I attended one. Bonus points is it is pretty centrally located for the U.S.
