The gentleman who was talking about club competition being harmful appears to 
me to have misidentified the problem. The real problem, I think,  is the 
particular club that he was referring to. I emailed the president of our club, 
all scores big and small are welcome. Operate how you want to. Thanks for any 
points that you contribute to the club score. 

Club competition is a very good thing. 

I think that the gentleman you were replying to may need to find a new club. 

73 Dave, hope to catch you this weekend in the SS. 

Of course, you'll  be hard to miss :)
