-----Original Message----- From: Jim Crowley <JXC@...> Sent: Tue, Nov 15, 2011 12:30 pm Subject: Two items of interest As a heads up, there are two items you should be aware of: Group realignment The proposal from the Group realignment Committee, which was accepted and approved by the AKC Board in November is posted on the home page of the public AKC web site. It includes their recommendations for the assignment of breeds to groups, the AKC’s tentative plan to provide judges for the new groups, and an FAQ on realignment. The rule changes necessary to go from 7 to 11 groups will be read in December for a vote at the March, 2012 meeting. If approved by the Delegates, the changes would not go into effect before 2015.The link is listed as the first item under Top Stories in the news section, and it just went up 5 minutes ago. AKC Club Insurance FYI, Equisure is changing carriers for the club insurance in 2012. As a result many clubs that have the current policy are getting cancellation notices from Colony, the present carrier, in advance of renewal. If you get any calls from your club , just refer them to Equisure, 1-800-752-2472. Jim Crowley============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
