<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> so i understand you are saying it's ok to
give SCG two meetings (when this years' meeting will be their first reguarly
scheduled one) on the day and time<EM> they</EM> specify, but corvanatics,
airvairs, and virtual vairs, who have a running track record of many conventions
will simply get along with one meeting that falls into the overall plan of the
convention? just wanted to make sure i read that correctly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as for the " very
retrogressive concept' we have for years tried to schedule a convention so
that any person that wants to do all the corvair events -auto x, rally, econo
run, concours/car display, tech sessions, special interst interest groups,
etc. could do so; choices would have to me made about going on tours
instead of attending corvair events, but all corvair events would be possible to
attend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we are already compromising that by overlapping
some group meetings, so we pick the groups that have the least
commonality.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as for scheduling the event during the autocross,
stan east specifically rejected the idea of the SCG 'event' occuring during any
other major event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>remember also that stock class drivers (as well as
all other classes) are required to 'work' the course during another heat, so you
simply don't show up, run, then leave.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>while i realize all of us have our own particular
interests, the convention as a whole must accomodate the diversity of intersts
and groups that make up corsa. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry....I now understand that we, the SCG and

Convention.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also the same "we" were unaware that the National
Convention is not large enough in its scope that it can not have parallel

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> SCG meeting</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gentlemen-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> the corsa board,
convention folks, etc are not denying the SCG a meeting; this is not a
"Corsa VS. STG". we recognize the SCG and have planned all along
to scheduled a time slot that is as long as any other special interest
group @ 90 minutes. we have additionally tried to schedule it during
daylight hours so you can opt to have your meeting outside if you wish to do
the car by car look over.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> convention scheduling is a
very difficult task. we (harry, myself, sarah, chuck, stan, and
the <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>andolinos)sp</FONT>ent much
time trying to slot everything into the available time. we have 69 line
items on this year's schedule and only 4 days to hold them all. of
particular circumstance this year is 2 major evening events, a dinner cruise
on friday and a CPF presentation (building the corvair engine) on thursday,
so we effectively "lost' two evenings where we would normally
hold some of the special interest meetings. do you want to have a STG
meeting the same time as the dinner cruise? neither does any other group. we
have in the past tried to keep all the special interest groups in their own
non conflicting meeting time, but of late, because of the tight schedule,
now have corvanatics, V8 registry, and oil filter collectors at the same
time. this year we added SCG to the list; we had to overlap ultra
van and the STG meeting to make it all fit. our event schedule already
starts at 8 am or earlier every day and runs to 10 pm.or later, so we don't
really have room to go earlier/later in the day. do we move meetings to
tuesday? nobody wants to schedule their meeting then because it's early on
and it's generally felt not everybody will be there yet. unless we are
proposing adding a day to the convention- which is a completely different
topic- we are just flat out of time to add any more non conflicting events
to the schedule.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> announcing the STG meeting
day and time over VV before the convention schedule itself had been worked
out was premature. we don't know how the schedule for a given convention
looks until the convention committee sits down with the local hosts and
sorts one out that is the most reasonable , non conflicting schedule we can
do given the days available. i believe we did that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> i am sorry there were not
slots available for the SCG to hold a regular chapter meeting
<STRONG><EM>AND</EM></STRONG> a SCG event in the lot without going timewise
against some other convention events. the SCG can utilize
it's scheduled time slot on thursday 3:30-5:00 PM any way you like.
and, as sarah mentioned, if at the conclusion of that meeting, if you feel
there's more to cover and want to organize an unofficial gathering at some
other time during the convention, that's ok with us- it just won't be
on the published schedule.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> in summary, i want to
restate that this whole recent SCG thread has been taking a "Corsa VS.
SCG", and that is not the case. the convention committee is simply
trying to schedule the SCG meeting- along with the 7 other special interest
groups chapters- in reasonable time slots along with all the other many
events and tours that make up a corsa convention</FONT></DIV>
