Rick,
Welcome to the site, great to have you, I think you will see we have a bunch of great members, topics and events here on the site. I do think you will really enjoy it.
We look forward to meeting you at an event this year, I know we have a few planned for later in the year.
That Comp cooking class will really be great, I know you will get a lot out of it. There are always tips & tricks to learn.
As for the Competition cooking, that is very addictive and once you get started, watch out...
Great to have you,
Mike
