Default Ever had an ongoing contest moved to another site?

little club issue to this world audience, it would be most helpful if
anyone aware of such a happening could cite the occasion. * Most
particularly, the case where a competition director might have decided
to move a contest to another airport due to some aspect of weather
forecast or occurrance would be of greatest interest. *The question
relates to club contests or sanctioned contests. *Thanks in advance!


the 1990 Canadian Nat's about 25 to 30 contestant, from Starbuck,
soutwest of Winnipeg to Brandon Manitoba. The move was seccessful as
it moved the contest site just west of the prevailing jet stream.
