\nOld Business
\nWinter Solstice DLG contest held at the Christmas field in December had 14 entries each day. Better advertising is planned to draw more entrants, especially from outside Florida, for the next DLG events.
\nMowing plans for the Christmas field were discussed at length. Lee Bailey stated that the crew led by Nancy Word did considerable extra work to finish close cutting in the sailplane launch area in that much raking and hauling of cuttings was performed to clear the area. Lee paid the crew an extra $60 for this effort. Nancy\u2019s crew offered to continue mowing services but our discussion brought up concerns about insurance and lack of appropriate heavy duty equipment. Lee agreed to explore options with other mowing contractors and he offered to do some mowing himself after his trailer is built.
