Postal Championships
by Al Myers
I just received the results of the 2011 USAWA Postal Championships from the meet director John Wilmot. It looks like it was a very well supported postal meet to “cap” our year of the USAWA Postal Series. I want to mention that it is VERY IMPORTANT to send your entries in on time. A few entries came in late to John (after the generous deadline John CLEARLY states on the entry form) and were rejected. It is also VERY IMPORTANT that the entry forms are filled out correctly when sent to him – don’t just “scribble” your results on a sheet of paper and send them in. Also, the PROPER FORMS need to be filled out and SIGNED to make your entry official. All of this is readily available on the website (old entry forms stay on the website FOREVER in the announcement blogs). I don’t want to hear anyone “whining” to me why their entry was rejected – YOU SHOULD KNOW!
Now on to more pleasant things. I can’t thank John enough for promoting these postal meets. It takes work to calculate the results and send out the certificates. I should mention that he does this all because he wants to support the USAWA. He doesn’t receive any monetary help from the USAWA for these postal meets. In fact, he has to pay the sanction fees for all of these postals! If you get the time, drop John a note in the mail thanking him for all he does.
