Norma, I disagree. She's asking advice on what to do in this situationand has been very careful to protect this person's identity. I have no problem with her asking for advice -that's what the list is for - thank goodness! I've been show chair or secretary a number of times and have had to deal with bad checks from handlers and exhibitors, even those entering without paying, then not showing up at the show. There was even a short list of those we would only take cash or cashier's check/money orders from. It is something that occurs often enough I believe to be a concern. Most dog clubs don't have much money, and the fees the banks charge, the hassle of going back and forth with the person writing the bad check, etc. That $44 check can in the end cost the club $100.
