Nationals/Bridge Day Conflicts

[base428 1]

If you're reading this and you have some control over the scheduling of the USPA Nationals, please take "Bridge Day" into consideration in the future. Bridge Day has been around for 30 years and it will always occur on the 3rd Saturday in October. It seems like the Nationals and Bridge Day dates conflict every few years (fortunately, next year looks OK). We have 500+ BASE jumpers at Bridge Day - many of them are skydivers as well. It would benefit BOTH events to schedule them apart.

Many thanks for considering it!

Jason, I don't see anything about it on any of the agendas for the meeting, so please send it to the Chair of Competition, Bill Wenger, and to all BOD members. I think [email protected] is working again.
