Do you realize how many years we have been saying the same thing? Cut the number of days, cut the number of classes , don't have the futurity finals on Tuesday. Easy access, dog shows not big extraviganzas. I know the people in charge know what is being said even if they are not on the list - No one seems to listen to the exhibitors. Just look at the 2005 schedule. The hospitality / costume party is on Monday night. If the futurity finals have to be on Tuesday why not start them earlier. Give the handlers with a large number of dogs a break so they are not feeding and excersing at midnight-- We have asked and asked and no one listens. Guess that is why I have gotten so negative over the years ----- Original Message ----- From: Lealynn@xxxxxxx<mailto:Lealynn@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2005 11:22 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Shipping Dogs In a message dated 5/28/2005 9:11:19 AM Pacific Standard Time, nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: 6) Expenses are up, and will continue to rise, how about cutting back on the number of days for the National? It was done before with larger entries and it all went well. Can't thing of just everything at this very moment but, what can we all think of that will help our site selection person now and in the future, whoever that might be? Let's start with this one. Cut out the conditional class and move the Futurity/Maturity to Wednesday morning like it used to be. Just doing that will eliminate 1 whole day~!
