Gee Sharon, why would you be surprised? This kind of nonsence has been going on with this person for years. Wayne Wayne Ewart Lynne Gibson Shep Haven Abbaway German Shepherds ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stuart & Sharon Birch" <sbirch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 03, 2011 10:31 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Something Stinks in BC - Read all about it. Please read the whole message. I'll go back a year to set the stage: While my Father lay dying in a Hospital Bed - I missed the deadline to nominate a Litter. I mailed the nomination as soon as I realized I had forgot to do so. ( I was several Weeks late ) The Futurity Chair Person assumed my entry was for the following year and never opened it. As the deadline approached to enter the Futurities ( May 2nd 2010 ) I went to enter my Futurity Dogs and called the Futurity Chair person directly as I had not received confirmation. ( and had sent email ) At that Time I was told - Oh Yes! She had received my litter nomination - but had not opened it until receiving my email. As the deadline for nominating a litter had passed and the numbers had been posted - She did not think there was anything they could do. As I was a GSDCC member ( in good standing ) I asked the GSDCC Board to consider the circumstances and allow the nomination. At which time I was told "I had done this long enough and should know better - a deadline was a deadline. Thanks but no thanks. FAST FORWARD TO 2011 in BC Woodside Kennels ( NOT A MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING ) was allowed to pay her membership at 3pm yesterday afternoon and show up today at the BC Fut/Mat Show with entries and entry fee's in hand !!!!!!! The Board members having an email vote did allow this !!!!! My question is - Why is the vote legal = or even taking place - if the person was not a member in good standing in the GSDCC ? Finally - this Commercial Kennel Owner has been involved with Futurity / Maturity for several Decades !!! and " KNOWS THE RULES !!! " and to quote my earlier experience " SHOULD KNOW BETTER " It makes me wonder why we have any rules at all - if only some of us are held accountable by them.
