My mailbox is full of individual mails and I am responding to all in order to catch up. This attachment is what I, and my show site committee (9) of judges and handlers and exhibitors, and a past show site chair spread across the country used as a criteria. We also used the 2004 membership poll in the Review as a guide. In it, rotation was emphasized in the replies and no coastal shows were requested among other things. I sent the above to all the Specialty clubs and many individual exhibitors also to ask if they knew of something suitable. I also traveled to over 20 states and investigated over 200 sites in looking for places to fullfill these requirements. my leasing company loved the extra 6,000 on my car when I turned it in! The sites we found were Ohio (2009) and Utah (2010) and I am hopeful you will love them! We worked to keep the 3 year selection ahead as the Board requested. We did studies of where the membership and the exhibitors lived by state in order to accommodate as many as possible. We did a study of where the hub airlines were as that is the only way exhibitors can fly dogs in. I can send these to the list or any individuals if requested. Costs were a major consideration as looking ahead we can see where, entries will continue to go down. All costs, including site costs, grass and matting were factored in at each site and suitable hotels were investigated and the number required were found for each site submitted for consideration. The last Board chose to turn the sites over to the show chairman and we were disbanded 2 years ago.
