Joan The exhibitors live in every state and the PC accepts membership from any state, any country. You have a large Canadian membership......they exhibit. Should the national be in Canada then some year.....why not? I too don't want to re hash this one, but every member should be able to get to a national at least once in 5 years......rotation and participation is what will keep this club unified and not mean to exclude anyone. Flying is expensive, driving is expensive. Any way you look at it, it will cost. Bottom line.....if you want to play, you will have to pay.
