I did agility before I did the obedience showing. Then moved to obedience and now conformation for the last 2 years.

My husband responded to that invitation and became a PC member. I didn't join the PC until later., when we were campaigning our first Champion and foundation bitch. Aside from the obedience people, clubs have people who are involved in rescue etc. I do think that we need to change things, but not to exclude those potential members who very well could become dedicated regional and PC members.
