I have Read enough of this....many years ago, when Arizona first got a lottery they put up billboards all over the state that said "IF YOU DON'T PLAY YOU CAN'T WIN"....this applies to Futurities, If the local clubs in some regions to donot want to be bothered filling our applications to host a Futurity.....they will not be considered for hosting a Futurity no matter how convenient it may be for a large group of people. If you would like a Futurity in your area in the future realize that an application to host the Futurity MUST be sent to the National Futurity Chair by March to apply to host a Futurity in 2 years. There must be at least 12 specialty clubs in California, my guess is nobody wanted to do the work....the Clubs in question Colorado( is South West F/M) Arizona( is Southern Pacific F/M) Utah (is Mid Pacific F/M) I guess these 3 clubs filled out the paper work last year, and are willing to work to put on a Futurity As a Futurity Chair, I consider it a privledge & pleasure to host a Futurity for my club.
