Apologies to Midwest Benchrest, Yukon, MO

On behalf of the IBS, I want to personally apologize to Robert Ross and the Midwest Benchrest range in Yukon, MO. Robert did, in fact, submit a bid for the 2012 1000 yard Nationals on October 31, 2011. The email that he send to our 1st VP, Dick Grosbier went to an email address that Dick does not routinely monitor. Further, Dick had a hard drive failure shortly thereafter which compounded the problem. We screwed up. This, of course, was coupled with the issue related to the Colorado bid.

Jeff Walker (IBS Executive Secretary and LR Committee member) and I had a recent conversation with Robert Ross about his bid and the fact that we did not officially know of it until after the IBS Annual Meeting. In that call, I personally conveyed my apologies to him. Robert has graciously agreed to host the 2013 1000 yard Nationals. This year's Nationals will be at White Horse, WV.

As for the 1K SOY points situation. I think a fair solution is in the works. The IBS EBoard and Long Range Committee have listened to comments from the clubs. The Committee will modify the rules to even the playing field regardless of the number of benches in use.

The geographic extent of IBS's long range discipline has begun to challenge the administrative structure that we have employed since the IBS's birth in 1970. I recognize that there is a need for change and I am committed to direct some changes both in the near- and mid-term. Stay tuned please.

Jeff, you are providing leadership that we can all agree to. Thanks for listening.
 
Jeff,
Thank you for what you do and for what you are attempting do. It is appreciated.
 
Thank you Mr. Stover. It's nice to know you are listening. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance.
 
Thank you Jeff S., Jeff W. and all the committee members that are working to resolve the issues at hand, it is greatly appreciated. We respectfully await your decisions.

ok now for the bad news....based on the decision to give them 2013,....and no valid reason for colorado not getting the match this year, is it pre-emptive to go to colorado in 2014 ???
i do not disagree with giving mo the match.....i do disagree with the "excuse" used to not give it to colorado......
(and before someone complains about back to back not in the east....we are doing back to back in the east this year..at the same range!)

Mike - don't forget that CRC has withdrawn from the IBS. If they come back in (as I hope they will) that would be a different matter. I don't want to debate the issues, but they would be most welcome to return.

Thank you Mr. Stover and Mr. Walker and any and all members who have dedicated there time and hard work to get this point system resolved once and for all.
So all clubs now and in the future no mater how many benches they are lucky to have will be able to compete on a better playing field.
Hopefully we will not have to address this issue again.
Thank you Dave Holland GRRC 1000 yd Br match Director NOW I CAN GET BACK TO RELOADING!

Thank you Robert
I have thrown your bid into the pot. Things are pretty much set up for this year unless Colorado backs out . But 2013 is
wide open at this point .

Jeff,
If Dick didn't see the email how was he able to reply to Robert that he had received the email and tell him that Yukon would be "thrown into the pot" and all forwarded to you and the long range committee.
You would have us believe that not you or even one of the LR committee members saw it.
You want us to believe that you all are that incompotent?

James,

Thanks for filling in the "rest of the story". My reciting of the circumstances was from a 1/23/12 email from Dick. This one slipped through the cracks, even the documentation that there was a response. Dick deals with about 20 IBS emails a day. As I said before, a mistake was made for which no one is happy. End of story.

jks
