The way I remember this is, the GSDCA decided to not do the plaques as trophies to be more cost productive at the F/M. The membership had a "fit" and so they now they have there plaques back. The hosting clubs are asking for donations to help a little for the trophies and the members are having a "fit" again? Wow, talk about being between a rock and a hard place. I will be asking our club board if we can afford a small donation to try and help, we are one of the smaller clubs with limited finances so we will see what we can do.
