The April dates conflict with the WMC 2 day contest so I wouldn't attend
West Baden regardless, but this also leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
 Perhaps that's because I'm out some cash, but I also don't like that our
money apparently isn't as good as some other group's money. I find it hard
to believe they unknowingly double booked an entire weekend.
