Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] National Sites
I wanted to write everyone regarding National Sites. A team of 4 people
looked into every site recommended by the membership; plus additional sites
we were aware of. That team consisted of our National Chair Gail
Stiefferman, Lew Bunch, Joan Fox, and myself. I admittedly handed off a good
bit of the work when it got down to needles in a hay stack!
Please understand that our National can't conflict with our friends in
Canada. Our window to hold a National is essentially October and November.
Venues have to accommodate many venues and events. Tracking, Herding,
Obedience, Rally, Agility, and Conformation. We need hotels that accept
dogs, major airport hubs that can take 500 crates, meeting and banquet
facilities, climate controlled buildings, affordable sod and show sites that
are economically feasible.
It is also impossible to make everyone happy! The fact remains that The USA
and our membership is spread out to the very corners from Portland Maine to
Portland Oregon.
I just want everyone to know that I can say with confidence a huge effort was
put forth to find a show site for 2019 that would cater to The West Coast
membership. We know Denver is not ideal for everyone who lives West.
However, given all of the needs to hold an event, Denver was the best overall
choice.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the members who helped during
this process. The location team really did work hard to do their best. The
members gave us some great possibilities, a few stars had to align and some
just did not work out.
I will also tell you that The entire BOD was 100% pushing to find a show site
towards The West. Lew worked very closely with Patty Korsch to check off the
missing boxes some of the other options could not meet.
Again, thank you to all the members for helping us.
Respectfully
Linda
