New Pulpit Stickers

Post by rs54263 »

Dave Bodner and I are currently working on getting the Pulpit Stickers
mailed out for this year. ?Previous stickers had serial numbers on
them, but we haven't thought of a good reason as to why that is. ?Any
ideas?

As an alternative, we are considering putting the pilot's name on the
stickers. ?Any thoughts on that?

Maybe someone just got sticker stock that was already serialized? - Hugh

No disrespect intended here, but I need to share a perspective:

Who actually checks for these stickers? I can tell you that I have never put a sticker on my helmet since I moved here in February 1998. No one has ever said a word about it to me. What do you do when someone gets a new helmet, or when someone wears more than one helmet? I have two.

If the purpose of the sticker is to make sure people don't bandit the site, maybe we could simplify post a list of those who have paid for their <fill in the blank> stickers. It is not like we have so many people we can't keep track of them. I haven't thoroughly examined everyone's helmets, but I don't recall seeing Pulpit stickers on a few.

Don't get me wrong, I like to collect the stickers - they are all in an envelope my desk drawer at home. Where do I get my Fisher Road, Bill's Hill and Woodstock Stickers?

If the sticker "rule" was actually communicated and enforced, then the sticker discussion would have much more meaning.

Sorry for stirring up a problem.

Rumor has it that the PA forest rangers look for it when we fly on
their property. I have no idea if that's true, though. Pulpit used to
give out streamers. Maybe those would be more visible.

Maybe we don't need stickers. That might be a subject of discussion
for the combined board of directors in April. For this year, it's
probably too late to give them up now.

>>Who actually checks for these stickers? ??I can tell you that I have never put a sticker on my helmet since I moved here in February 1998. ???No one has ever said a word about it to me. ??What do you do when someone gets a new helmet, or when someone wears more than one helmet? ?I have two. ?<<

Currently, no one does;??however, that is something that *has* to change. ?It is extremely important that people who use the Pulpit pay their annual flying fees;??this funding is necessary to take care of landowner gifts, site maintenance, and renovations. ?Two years ago we had over 100 dues-paying members;??last year we had about 40. ?This year we shifted our renewal schedule to accommodate USHGA requirements, and we started our renewal drive in October. ?It should have been *completed* by the end of the year. ?Now 2 months in to the year, we are only at 50 members. ?Part of this is caused by the fact that MHGA isn't collecting dues anymore;?which is fine for them, but that also means that they are no longer renewing as joint members. ?Just because they don't want to deal with the paperwork, doesn't automatically obligate CHGPA to grant them free membership in our club. ?Besides, part of the annual club dues is passed directly to the Pulpit treasury to pay for each member's right to fly there. ?If we don't start enforcing the Pulpit stickers, more and more people will decided that it's more convenient to fly for free then it is to bother with that silly "dues stuff".

And for people like you, with multiple helmets, I suppose you'll just have to pay an extra $15 for a second sticker. ?Consider it a penalty for being a pain-in-the-butt. ?;-) ?Seriously, if we put people's names on the stickers (instead of serial numbers), then it wouldn't be a problem to provide you with a second sticker.

>>It is not like we have so many people we can't keep track of them. <<

I'm not so sure;? there's a good two or three dozen pilots who couldn't even figure out they themselves owed dues last year. ?I like to think I have a pretty decent memory, but I couldn't tell you off-hand who has or has not paid their dues this year without looking it up. ?Hence the need for helmet stickers, which readily identified who has paid and who hasn't.

>>I haven't thoroughly examined everyone's helmets, but I don't recall seeing Pulpit stickers on a few.<<

You're absolutely right;?but that needs to change, for the aforementioned reasons.

>> Don't get me wrong, I like to collect the stickers - ?they are all in an envelope my desk drawer at home. ??Where do I get my Fisher Road, Bill's Hill and Woodstock Stickers?<<

The "Pulpit"?sticker covers Fisher Road and Bill's Hill as well. ?Woodstock does not require a sticker.

>> If the sticker "rule"? was actually communicated and enforced...<<

Which is exactly where we are trying to get to.


>> Sorry for stirring up a problem. <<

Not at all;??thank you for bring attention to a deeper issue. ?:-)

Law enforcement seems to be pretty haphazard: the Washington County
folks told me the red-letter signs saying you had to have a Washington
County hang-gliding permit to fly High Rock - were a problem for them.
People kept coming in to their offices asking to buy a HG permit. So
they were happy when we offered to provide a sign with alternate
language. However, they never took the old signs down. I keep
sending e-mails to the WashCo facilities manager, but he doesn't
answer...

In other business, I have received the new site insurance documents and
will provide copies to the PA authorities as discussed. Bunkhouse Bob,
do you need copies or did USHGA send you a set for MHGA also?
Questions for anyone who knows: do we owe copies to all landowners, or
just the PA authorities? If all, should I just mail them, or do we
wish to have them hand delivered by whoever contacts the landowners?

I made up the old stickers and put numbers on them for record keeping.? The numbers were on file with each pilots name.? I guess that wasn't really necessary.

Post by Danny Brotto »

I am really confused.

This recent thread jogged my memory that I should renew my membership. So I went to reup at the link and noticed that the McConnelsburg flying dues are now incorporated within the CHGPA dues structure. I may not have been paying attention but is a set portion of the $40 dues going to the Pulpit Fund? The Pulpit Fund (or whaterver it?s officially called) is supposed to be managed independently from the treasury of either club. I believe it was a $20 yearly fee for McConnelsburg (which included Bill?s and Fisher?s.)

The way the site charter was written, all fees are to go into the site fund and equal monetary payment may be made to the clubs at the discretion of the collective clubs? BODs. Each club had the responsibility to reimburse the loans made by their members to purchase the site. (All the outstanding loans at this point have been paid off.) After that, optional fund disbursement was to be a money-making venture for the clubs. I don?t believe a club disbursement as such has been made in the past few years though.

As it stands now, the only way to fly McConnelsburg is to join the CHGPA. Membership in either club had never been a requirement to purchase McConnelsburg flying stickers.

Negative; you can purchase a Pulpit sticker directly from the Pulpit
Treasury. However, the CHGPA membership includes a Pulpit sticker.
(The CHGPA treasure sends the appropriate portion of the dues directly
to the Pulpit Treasury, on behalf of the members.) I believe that MHGA
used to do the same thing. This does not in any way tie the Pulpit
treasury to that of either club.

We have registration forms for Pulpit membership. They will be available
at the mhga meeting. Many people outside our area used to
get club memberships just so they could fly our sites, though
theoretically they only had to pay the lower pulpit membership, which I
think has only been made available at the Pulpit Fly-in. It might
be nice to make such an option available through the website for those who
are just 'passing through' for a few months job rotation or other such
things.

Brian's right, one of the additional purposes of the Pulpit sticker
is so that pilots visiting our area for a short time can contribute
in a small way ($15, or whatever it is), without having to actually
join the club(s).

This added purpose is most obvious during Pulpit fly-ins, but I think
it's intended to be available to visiting pilots year round.

And I agree with Ralph, we should start cracking down (gently)
so that the club has the funds it needs to operate. With fewer meetings
to brow-beat people, and Skyline available online, our bottom line
is definitely being impacted.

Maybe sending two stickers to every pilot would be a good default
practice; I've got two helmets too :)

As a data point, the Pulpit-only people are few and far between. I'm
not sure if I've sent out any such stickers in '04. Most of those
folks are either buying full memberships, or they're ignoring us
altogether.

Question: aren't we also supposed to have waivers on file in order to
fly these sites? It seems to me that one of the purposes of the helmet
stickers is to identify that the pilot has signed the necessary
waivers.

Yup, I have an 1 1/2 inch thick stack of signed Pulpit waivers. There
have been few/no new waivers signed in the past year. Probably need to
scrub this admin barnacle... (Groan!) - Hugh

Anyone with an active USHGA number has a signed waiver with USHGA.
However, we may have an agreement with the landowners that we maintain
our own waivers.

It sounds like the new board has never seen the manual that Frank Sauber did long ago. It has all this information in it. I may have an electronic copy of it kicking around.

Would this be the manual that Karen Carra spent all year updating? She
has distributed it to us. But we're guys: when all else fails, we
read the instructions... - Hugh
