I sent out some options for a CA National that would save money.  

There are 2 very nice locations in SoCal that could accomodate what we need in 
space, including C-course herding.  However, conformation would be outdoors.  
Both locations offer large grassy areas so no sod would be required.  Both are 
currently hosting othe breed Nationals or major AB shows.  If we want to save 
money, stop looking at fancy locations.  This is CA.  How uncomfortable does it 
get in Oct/Nov?  Those are the best months of the year for dog shows.  Good 
grief!!!!!

Do conformation dogs really need to have an indoor facility?  These are working 
dogs, for Pete's sake.  

I think people need to step back and look at what is important.  Do you want a 
climate controlled place to show your dogs?  Ok, then donate you riches to that 
end to make it convenient for you.  If you just want a GREAT National, then 
suck it up and have a GREAT National show.  Put up or shut up!  The dogs don't 
care.

Ok, that sounded mean.  I understand a covered venue in certain climates but 
the compromise doesn't seem to be happening.  

ARRGGHHH!

h have  we heard this before!
here was a "contract" with the paid $1000. made on  Beaumont  in the  fall 
f 2004. The board at the time changed  the terminology to "booking  
greement" and attempted to break this  over the next 3 years.  Members of  
ur club 
ought this one  very hard and were successful.
Get a direction....make a  point.


OK,  here is a suggestion.

ince it looks like without changes we would lose money on the national, as 
we have for the past three years or so,  so maybe we should just cut out  
he national.

ow, no one wants that. So, the only solution is to raise income or cut  
pending. (Sounds like  government doesn't it?)

es, if we cut spending, it will hurt the members. I guess we could raise  
ues, (taxes), or cut spending, as they are doing in California.  They are  
utting education, health, police.  No one wants that either.

his board is dedicated to cutting spending.  They are moving the  national 
n 2012 to eliminate $14,000 in site costs and to have it where more  
eople can drive to the show to increase entries.

f anyone has a better idea, let them know. They have challenged everyone  
o find $51,000 in cuts for this year to make sure they break even. Every 
rea  of the club is being considered.

ow many would want to cut the national so that the club will not go under  
nd can continue to establish the breed standard?

ust asking.
