Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi ADs out there,

The 2015 games calendar seems to be very empty so far.  While some of my normal favorites are listed, other significant ones I usually attend are still absent.

KC Scottish Festival? Wichita? KC Backyard Games?  McPherson? Warrensburg, MO (new to me last year)? 

I'm just trying to get started figuring out my season.

Thanks to all you fabulous ADs, without whom, we could not have this much fun throwing heavy stuff <g>!

	I would normally have my games on the list (I know mine if fairly minor in the scheme of things) but the problem I'm running into is that there are MORE AND MORE games to go to. While I initially saw this as a good thing....a GREAT thing...I am now concerned as I see the athletes having to make choices. I have had to move mine repeatedly because new games have come in and taken my date with no regard, or I get sandwiched between games, or they move the games year to year, or the fact that I have to work around the local calendar (our town is dominated by a University and homecoming, parents weekend have to be avoided or I have no hotel rooms). So, bottom line, I am beginning to get worried we are becoming victims of our own success. If you are starting a new games, GOOD FOR YOU! I applaud you. But try and work with established games and be considerate. It will only help us grow in my opinion.
