Premium MemberJai Pal:
Sorry, this thread seemed to get a bit confused as to what was happening when.
Thank you for clearing things up.

Premium MemberDid I miss the notice? Don’t the bylaws require a meeting notice 30 days before the membership meetings?

A. There shall be a semiannual general member meeting at dates set by the executive Board. Notice of such meetings shall be given to all general members at least thirty (30) days in advance.

All the RASP and Windgram/Meteogram stuff is open source and available. There is a small, but dedicated, group of developers around the globe who share what they create. Hit me up directly at ac_soaring@yahoo.com and take a look at Dr Jack’s RASP forum RASP Forum: for users of RASP predictions (drjack.info)

Zac, Bruce, Owen, Gavin (on a PG), Ken and Gary were the top 6.

My thoughts were less suspicious. We fortunately have an actual architect to bring us options. In fact the work already donated would probably cost somewhere in the high 4 or low 5-figures to get us the options, renderings, and pricing if we had to go contract for it. If he brings us a design with a $57K price tag I have every confidence it can be built for that (well, other than the generally crazy price increases we are seeing in building materials, but that impacts all options).
My concern was that the structure of the current vote/poll seems unlikely to lead to a meaningful result. Hopefully I’m proven incorrect in that assessment.
We have a LOT of work to do to get a new structure. Let’s get the oars moving in one direction and appreciate the contributions, thoughts, ideas, offers to volunteer and donations from all the members of our team.
Good luck to us all,
Alan

Premium MemberWere they under instruction on radio, or just under instruction? Unclear from the first couple of posts.
Thank you

Nothing in particular towards Option 7 or suggesting modifications. It just seems unlikely that this current poll can yield much in terms of moving the process forward. With votes for an open metal building scattered across 4 alternatives, and votes for the swooping, more enclosed structure split 2 ways, hard to see how there will be much clarity in the results.
Of course I could be entirely wrong and there is overwhelming support for 1 option. Perhaps there is a plan (that I missed) to whittle down the alternatives (maybe a re-vote on the top 2 or 3 options).
Suggestions and offers of donations and assistance are coming in, so we are doing something worthwhile.

Premium MemberI attempted this comment before, but I’ll try to be more clear.
This poll seems to be trying to pick a single solution when we haven’t even settled on a general type of design. The results are likely to be very unclear to everyone involved. We have 3 general types of design (maybe 4 with the post above regarding Sylmar):
1) Open metal structure (4 variations)
2) Swooping structure with more enclosed space (2 variations)
3) Structure with a deck
How will anyone be able interpret the results? Getting bound up in color, slope of roof, or even the specifics of which tasks we can find expertise within our ranks, all seem very pre-mature until we have a chosen a general design.
My 2 cents…
