I have a question for you. How do you verify the fact that a member of a regional club is a life time member? If I want to change divisions couldn't I just say these members are lifetime members. How could one prove it wrong or right?? Terry hadderway@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Although any "non dues paying members" do not count in your total number of members, they can still submit points. This was done to address the fact that a number of clubs have 10-20 honorary or lifetime (25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 year) members who no longer exhibit and do not pay dues. Rather than forcing an otherwise small club to compete as a medium size club or even a large club, we just don't count them in the total for the number of members. HOWEVER, if the honorary or lifetime members earn points, their points count just as much as those dues paying members' points. I would say one of the most competitive groups out there are those in the small club division. They are always trying to figure out ways to earn more points! And the awesome thing is that they are doing it all.... they are putting on public education events, doing therapy work, competing in conformation, obedience and agility AND hosting shows. My hats off to the small clubs. All I can say is... the medium clubs had better watch out.. small clubs grow up to be medium clubs.
