The rub comes in when because we are a small group and not important to a larger COC. They can't or don't want to pay for Debby. . We talk about the hub cities. Well those are the big COC as well. We are insignificant. Wilmington , Ohio for instance is a small town. I doubt they would pay Debby s way. So why not utilize the local club members? The criteria for sites is readily available for all to read on the PC website. The exhibitors I know can sure critique a site and what is needed. A committee of people could sure help in all this under a Chairperson. This a major problem for the club and probably the biggest concern for the last few years for the membership. It is not going to cure itself and probably will get worse. Just think about the airline bankrupcy situations. If we don't find accessable sites for the majority of the exhibitors we will be looking at cutting in maby areas of the club. -------Original Message------- From: TISHW@xxxxxxx Date: 02/12/05 23:26:45 To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Local Clubs and National Site In a message dated 2/12/2005 11:19:59 AM Eastern Standard Time, f.fasano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > asked them to revisit the Phoenix horse facility-Deb won't go unless > the local club pays all her expenses-Kris > ----- Original Message ----- > There seems to be some confusion as to who pays to bring the National Show Site Chairman in to look at a site. The local club of whereever a site might be has nothing to do with the expenses of bringing in the Site Chairman. This is a National activity (since Kathleen Steen became the first National Show Chairman I think and started doing sites without a local club) and whatever expenses are incurred are sent to the treasurer of the GSDCA as a committee expense. It is a big plus when the site or the Chamber of Commerce brings in the Site Chairman to look at a site as they cover the travel and hotel expenses - not the GSDCA. The local club may choose to entertain the Site Chairman if they know she is in the area but that certainly is not mandatory in any way.
