You say:
" As much as I love rotating specialties, I would certainly think twice
before I had to pay an astronomical plane ticket to either coast."
MY POINT EXACTLY -- You do not want to pay it - but you expect those on the
coasts to pay it each and every year --- that is definitely a regional
mentality. Just calling it National does not make it so.
Goldens seem to move the show routinely and they are large dogs with the same
travel issues as GSDs and their show is far larger.

So here is my question to Ruth.. Just because a National club choses to keep
their National Specialties in a centrally located area, does that mean it is a
"regional" club? And if so, why?
To run a National specialty, you still need people from everywhere to work,
right? DCA does mostly centrally located specialties, but our club has people
from all over the country doing the work - it is a NATIONAL specialty, not a
regional specialty.
Think about this, PCA (Poodle Club of America) holds one of the biggest
National Specialties in America and they have held it at the SAME location for
the last however many years (I know of at LEAST 20 years)... It's still a
National club...
As was pointed out before, the economy and the times are changing - its time
for the clubs to catch up (and that includes ALL of them).. We need to start
thinking about the membership and what works best for them. As much as I love
rotating specialties, I would certainly think twice before I had to pay an
astronomical plane ticket to either coast.
