I found a reference that this was passed in May 2009 and was to be voted on by the delegate body in Sept of 09. If passed there, which I did not look up) it will not good into effect until July 1, 2010./ And it is at the option of the show giving club. So if you want it, better tell the clubs. Most probably will not even know about it. Carol Moore In a message dated 4/19/2010 3:49:36 P.M.
