I for one would be all for that. Kibbie is out of the question from my end, and I was really looking forward to attending the 2012 Nats with a decent F1D (as opposed to the ragged things I had this year). $25 would definitely not put me off from the contest since it's less than the gas bill to get there (which isn't much in itself).

Recently, their athletic conference mandated that banners of member schools be displayed in the Dome. The location of these ten banners prohibit the administration of our National Contest. Obviously it is too late to search for another venue. The company that installed them has given us a cost to take them down and put them back after the contest - $1,300. As a one-time project, I am confident that we indoor flyers (contestants, and those interested in sustaining indoor building and flying) can raise the money for this "Removal and Replacement" of the banners. A donation in any amount will help make it possible. We need to do this soon. Step two would be to conduct a serious search for indoor space for next year.
