In answer to my question, some have noted cost as a factor. Larger room, more cost. Do we not get the use of the arena on that day? Dedications could be given over the PA. Or where obedience will be held? Those areas could work at no extra cost. Why rent a room in the first place? Because it is a sit down dinner? Long tables with warmers would work. We can eat in the stands! Can not be any worst than some (a lot) of our victory dinners. <G> Nancy Webb SW Florida <<< Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:59:45 -0400 (GMT-04:00) From: Nancy Webb <noelwebb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: 2013 National Why not move to a larger venue if the interest is there?
