This is a NATIONAL CLUB and that won't change just because we can't have a
National Show in
every corner of the Country, nor does it eliminate Regional Clubs because we
cannot have a
National Show in the back yard of every Regional Club.
Some things, for many reasons just won't work no matter how ideal it would be,
or how much we
would all love to have it that way someday.
What WOULD make it a "regional" show is that it is so difficult to get a dog
there, that only the
people in that region would have easy access. It's a big Nation with airlines
downsizing.......
Call me nuts.........but I see it as 'a cup half FULL' if we have the
National more accessible to
EVERYONE EVERY year..... instead of easy access for someone some day.......??

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 a
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. Ruth

I believe the question is really simple -- do we want to be a NATIONAL club
or a regional club?
******************************************************
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.
