I do have a problem with the "Shake and Take" clinic. Greg Martin along with Jim Singer, John Greedy and Doc Denny (and maybe others) spend a great deal of time and their own money to put out a fine unique kit. They allow for 25-30 participants, yet each year only to have just a hand full of completed models brought back each year for display. I would be discouraged with the meager results, but to those guys's credit they are very upbeat and are busy planning next year's model.
This should be -easy- to fix: Require 2009 attendees registering for the 2010 "Shake and Take" to submit a photo of / and bring their 2009 clinic model. My guess is that some additional seats would open-up...
For those trying to game the system... the best they could do would be every-other year's clinic. Just a thought...
