Even though it isn't the best of the flying season--yet---, there is a lot of activity happening at Henson's Gap. A lot of preparation is going on getting ready for a few things. Below, is a recent email from Ollie Gregory, the competition chairman for the Sequatchie Valley. If you can, come and join us for some of these great funn activities.

Hi folks,
We're planning to have some fun with good friends, good food and good flying for the TTT Mayhem Memorial Day weekend get together. I believe this will be the official Revamped Ramp party as well. We'll invite all the present and former TTT members we can find, especially those instrumental in building the first radial ramp, and certainly all the donors and volunteer crew for the Revamp construction project. It should be a great weekend!

I have a poll up on the flymail to check interest, but right now it looks like there's plenty of enthusiasm to do it. We'll need volunteers to help with registration, launch crew and spot and bomb drop measurements. Please let me know if you can volunteer. You can register on line at www.tennesseetreeto ppers.orgWe are organizing a low key XC meet and Flyin for the weekend of Memorial Day. The meet will run from Saturday 5/24 thru Monday 5/26. The Tree Toppers always have a get together and dinner on the Saturday before Memorial Day.
This year we'll have a covered plate dinner provided by the local TTT supporters and anyone who can help with a dish. We'll work up appetites with some XC and fun flying!We're planning a low cost meet with Team Challenge like handicapped tasks and fun spot landing and drop streamer bomb drop contests. The gliders and pilots will be handicapped in the same format as the Team Challenge so everyone has a good shot at winning! We'll have prizes for the winners and lots of fun. To enter the XC contest, you must be a current TTT and USHPA member and a Hang 3 level pilot. Hang 2 Tree Toppers may participate in the bomb drop and spot landing contests. The cost of the XC contest will be $25. The bomb drop and spot landing contests will cost $10 to enter. The daily top three placers in the bomb drop and spot landing contests will split 1/2 the entry fees as follows: First place 50%; second place 30%; and third place 20%!Pilots may participate in all three contests. We'll give every pilot who enters the bomb drop contest a personalized Arkansas Drop Streamer made by a real Arkansan. ME!

We'll need some volunteers to help out, but the volunteers can certainly fly in the meet.There will be other fun things to do for pilots and friends too. One will be the Calcutta Auction of Pilots for the XC contest with winning "owners" receiving valuable prizes. All proceeds will go toward the TTT's many projects including the Revamp the Ramp Project and the Landing Field Fund. It's gonna be a blast! I might be flying in it!!!!
Again, if you want to volunteer, post the flymail or to me.
Thanks everyone,
Ollie
