I am not sure whether or not the question is if we should have sod at the National. In Santa Barbara, they lay sod for the obedience and rally rings. They lay sod for the conformation rings that are in the arena. After the show, the club sells the sod to recoop at least some of the expense. Maybe the PC could try something like that. In the past it has been humourous watching some of the workings at the facilities we used, fighting over the sod and who would take it Mike Gray ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
