Probably if you took
away the FV and MV title, just exhibited the winners of the regional
futurities as a "show case" event" then more would participate, maybe.

Hi Christine,
That brings back memories of when I first became the National Futurity
Chairman and the FREE committee was in existence. I really was "new" and
didn't
know the Board members very well - except Helen Gleason who had recommended me
for the job. It was either the 2nd or 3rd meeting I attended and Gail
Sprock nicely gave me the FREE Committee report to review ahead of time. Then
at
the meeting when they started discussing all this futurity stuff, Dave Rinke
decided that the way to make the futurities less important was to take away
the BIF at the National, etc. Believe it or not, it passed. You should have
heard the outcry from the membership. Next meeting it was reinstated. And
the 2 year rule was put into effect for changes affecting the futurities.
So here we are with the suggestion again. It has also been suggested in the
past that we do away with the ratings in the Redbook. And while these ideas
may sound good, the truth is that members like the BIF awards and the
rankings in the Redbook even if it does give the Futurity wins more importance
than
they might deserve.
