If the Board members had selected a site that was more inclusive to all members, I am sure there would be more entries and more attendance. For people on the West Coast, it is too long a drive and a very expensive trip. To fly a dog from SFO, it is close to $1000 round trip and only one airline, United, that will do it. A central location would have been more logical if the Club wanted to be considerate of all members. What happened to the Club wanting to be more inclusive? Not so much for the Centennial.
