TRI CITY SIXTEEN - RESEARCH PROJECT - DIRECTOR CONDUCTING SURVEY

Hello Out There ! Free Hornets President & TC-16 Contest Director here, trying something new for him

 While we as a club have already voted to proceed with planning stages for another Tri City Classic ( #16 wow) not long ago, there is currently no possible way to fix a firm date as yet at our preferred locale in Fremont. 
Still, it is about the ideal time to get seriously underway with the necessary administration/executive works for putting any kind of event in November this year. Been there, done that, so don't bother contesting me on this premise.

Right now, I have 5 working themes with one already a clear favorite for my effort commitment, 2 closely related ones as a tie for close second. Choices four and five are one brand new and one in play from 2016. By end of May, I'd like to have settled on the final answer to get the big push underway in a calm steady fun manner.

For serious interest on seeing what comes of this on my part, I am putting this simple survey question out now:

Q: Given that we have for a majority of the TriCity Classics, used a "Geographic Focus" for our contest theme which of these "geography sets" would be your chosen preference, perhaps motivating your attendance/entry?

1)  Entry Subject anything from Israel, Egypt, Syria, USA, Russia or directly related

2)  Entry Subject anything from USA, Cuba or Central/South America or directly related

3)  Entry Subject anything from USA or USSR or UK or directly related (set 1975 to 1990s)

4)  Entry Subject anything from Mexico or directly related

5)  Entry Subject anything from USA, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, UK or directly related

Send me your answer/comments to this email address, please: DAZE61283@mypacks.net PLEASE :-)

05-30-24 SURPRISE the final outcome is going to be answer #2, framed with a movie to suit as below:
