It is my understanding they did not even look at or consider Albany, Oregon
(one the the locations that actually MADE money).
The Aussies held their National there a couple weeks ago. Go figure!!

Under Robert's rules, we would need a 2/3 vote of the Board to change to
another venue for 2017
and a viable site to replace Reno with other than St Louis. It will not
happen as a lot of work went
into getting St Louis for 2017 with other Clubs
Look for a 2018 site - a viable site that meets critera
Sites that worked 10 years ago no longer work
For the most part, flying to a National is not feasible. Gone are the
days where they allowed you
to walk onto a tarmack and see you dog loaded when there were plane
changes.
Airlines have changed their rules - they want the dog to stand up and not
have their ears touch the
top of a crate. I feel that my dog standing is dangerous. I want them
not standing or sitting in a
crate for safety. I will never put my dog in a 700 crate. And even the
plane from Phillie to LA
could not accomodate a 700 crate thru its cargo doors!
Also try to remember that over 80% of membership is east of the
Mississippi and some need to be
able to get to a National to even come close to not losing our shirts.
The site needs to accomodate our money makers - Agility and Obedience/Rally
as well as herding and tracking. Cost of tent rentals and equipment
rentals are what cost the most
We also need electric and internet (for sales of catalogues, etc)
California is not dog friendly, and many sites will not permit us to use
their grass. Hpotels were
really expensive.
Read the minutes online and see how many sites we looked it on the West
Coast that really were
not feasible - recommended by members.
You need a solutions that is viable to change anything.
I am so glad that I will no longer have to take the abuse after 12/31
The Board remains open to options while trying to rebuild a safety net.
