None of this is to say that members can't live outside of the territory...but as I recall, the majority of the members must live within a certain radius of the club address....and that would be the club's territory. My AKC rep for IL, just happened to return my call. Heres the scoop, you have to call Club relations in NY and they will answer your questions.(they were very nice)..We have to send them a current roster showing them that the majority of members do not live in the town on our charter...and request that the town be changed to a town where the majority of members live. And if your club is named after a town and you are changing area's you may have to change your clubs name..
