The site accommodates the obedience and rally  people if  they don't mind 
being immediately next to the grooming area and  stalls with dogs- divided 
only be a curtain.

Herding will be  five hours away.

Just a few issues in addition to the RV  situation- The Board was  originally 
told that there were RV  hookups- oops-solution offered for no RV Hookups- 
hot wire the  building for 30 amp service for 60 RVs and pass the cost to 
those  using the RVs- cost unknown.

Just a few thoughts for  consideration. 



The Beaumont Kennel Club and Baytown KC combined has used this site  for the 
past few years.  The exhibition hall alone is huge 47,000  square feet.  They 
have 8 conformation rings, a large obedience ring,  several vendors and a 
large amount of grooming space for everyone.......in  fact they have never 
managed 
to fill this place with all of that.Their  entry is usually between 
1200-1400.  They do not have the entire site  for their show.....never been any 
complaints with everything in the one  room.  Gregg Eschette, Mary Tripp, Judy 
Bryan, 
Rita Chapman have all  showed there.....asked their opinion.
There is a very suitable herding site 2 hours away from Ford Park, 45  
minutes away from the airport that a licenced herding judge owns and  runs.  
Judy 
and Ken Bryan can answer questions on that  - _riatagsd@xxxxxxxx

 From what I heard at the meeting even though that site is  closer the people 
who enter herding prefer a place near Dallas - their  choice.
When Ford Park was built, it had been booked for an Airstream Trailer  
convention......it was the intention of the site to put in RV  hookups.  Due to 
the 
nearby RV park's concern's and suit filed  against the county, the hookups 
were not allowed to proceed.  The  agreement at first would only allow dry 
camping, but as mentioned in one  of my earlier posts, the management is 
willing to 
work with us, and agreed  to provide free electric at the cost of hookups. 
Again, there is no daily  fee for RV's to be on site.
The management of this site wants you here.  The community wants  you here..  
Our club wants to let you come and be the judge of the  quality of the site 
it is.  The local kennel club has offered its  members to assist the GSDCA in 
any way it can during the national.   This is one of the most dog friendly 
communities you will  find..........they support our club yearly with donations 
and  assistance.
It seems the only ones who do not want you to come here are some  members of 
our board that have carried a strong negative approach to this  site from the 
get go.  I have heard over and over from people from  one end of this country 
to the other of quotable's from those members of  the "over my dead body will 
the national be in Beaumont" or "don't worry,  we can get out of that 
contract".
I seldom get angry but I am close to having had enough of this  attitude.  
The show chair will tell you the co operation she gets  from this area.  
Perhaps 
you should contact her for her opinion since  she is the dynamics of making 
the national work.   She is Nanci  Nellis and you can reach her at

Funny thing, one of those board members sent me an email almost a  year ago 
telling me a had a negative attitude.  Those that know me  surely know that to 
be wrong.
Thanks for listening.....promise this will be my final vent, at least  for 
today! (G)
