RE: Nuc 2003?
> Any news out yet on the whereabouts of NUC 2003?
The Unicycling Society of America is still soliciting hosts for the 2003 NUC (NAUC, NAUCC). It's not really a "NUC" any more, as it's officially North American. No takers yet. How about Puerto Rico? I suggested this to David Ramos recently, with tongue in cheek, and he responded that they were actually very interested. Hey, it's gotta happen somewhere. The location of our convention has been determined by who is willing to host it. In those rare instances when we have had two or more groups vying to host in a given year, we try to either pick the location that most evenly "spreads" the conventions around, or the host who appears to be more ready. More often, however, we are unable to line up hosts with less than one year lead time. Ultimately I would like to see us planning 3-5 years in advance, giving convention hosts more time to prepare for their events. As our conventions continue to get bigger, they become harder to produce, and they really need organized groups of people to make them work successfully. Though a convention can be hosted by a small group, as was ably shown by the Toronto Unicyclists in 2001, a bigger group of workers makes for much less stress on the individual people. The USA should perhaps take a larger role in organizing these conventions. We have plenty of people with knowledge and expertise, gained from many years' experience in how our conventions work. this should be used more in making future conventions better. I foresee a time when local hosts primarily are responsible for acquiring facilities in which to hold the events, but the USA organizes the more specialized requirements, such as competition officials, judges referees, etc. And perhaps helps with fund raising. If people are interested in forming a USA convention committee, I would strongly encourage it. This would make it much easier for local clubs and groups to take on the task of hosting future conventions. I am thinking of offering a workshop at the conventions this summer with a subject along these lines, how to improve our conventions, and how to help people have better ones. But don't wait until then. If you think the USA should have such a committee, I encourage you to volunteer.

RE: Nuc 2003?
Sorry folks, this is just for Bruce Edwards. Bruce, your email address is

Based on what I saw on the way home from Phoenix recently, three! |

I look out my window into the dreary drizzle of the Pacific Northwest and I realize, suddenly, that David Ramos and Puerto Rico are ready and, when I squint my eyes properly, they are even centrally located. And NAUCC should be held in March that year.

David-
Mas temprano aviso, por favor. This is a perfect time to go to the Carribean. What isn't, though.

Re: Nuc 2003?
Since there's no Unicon that year, a trip to Puerto Rico sounds perfect.
I've always wanted to visit there. That would be great if you guys can do it. ---Nathan <UNICICLO@aol.com> wrote in message news:mailman.1016054895.19608.rsu@unicycling.org...
