Folks,
As I suggested in another thread, I'm starting this one to collect some feedback on how things went at the AABC this year.
I don't want this to turn into a slanging match, so only constructive feedback is welcome here... the point is to capture what went well and what could be improved, to help the organisers of future competitions know how to do things to make it all run smoothly.
Discussion on points people raise is welcome, as long as (again) it doesn't turn into a slanging match.
I'll kick it off with this. I thought that the stewards didn't have enough opportunity to develop their judging skills at this years event. While I appreciate that constant conversation with the judges can protract the time taken to complete a flight, I think that we can make room for stewards to learn while they're on the job. I also believe that a certain level of involvement also helps the stewards gain an appreciation for how the judges are going, and can actually help to keep the pace of judging up.
On a different note, having the judging occur at the accomodation venue worked really well - judges and stewards were on time and ready to commence when needed, and other people at the event could easily drop back to their rooms to rest.
Other thoughts? Competition, transport, accomodation etc?
Regards,
Andy
