Kathy,
i was a member of your club for that very reason. Is it a coincidence that
Southern NH is the only club thriving in New England and it welcomes
performance…I think not. We both know the status of the other New England clubs
and it is not pretty! Southern NH is the exception not the norm..which is why I
joined. But, to say..all clubs are like southern NH…well, that would just be
inaccurate. Both you and I know that…..and I volunteered at several of your
events so I know. Obviously, you don’t remember I was member but I ask Emily
or True! hehe

I'll try this again. This past year our club, The GSDC of Southern NH, held
7 herding trials, 3 specialty conformation shows, 2 performance scent dog
trials, 1 tracking seminar, and an awards banquet. That is in ONE Year! Come
Saturday, in freezing temperatures, we are hosting a performance Scent dog
trial with at least 150 entries. When we held the Futurity last we put on
the Futurity, another specialty show and had another club provide temperament
test. We had a banquet with a speaker. We held a raffle that contributed to
Take The Lead. We made bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast and
hamburgers and hotdogs for lunch. (Maybe Ed would consider coming east and
treat us to his BBQ, hint, hint) By the way, I seem to remember when the
Futurity was in Seneca Falls the year I was there, they also held an
obedience trial, had the best banquet with speakers as well.
All this is done by a handful of members that are willing to step up and make
it happen. It takes bodies to put all these things together. The two other
local clubs are struggling so our club is trying to fill-in and keep the
venues going but it ain't easy.
Many of the dogs in our club have titles on both ends. In fact our
president's dog is only one of a handful with a dual title. If you don't know
what that is, look it up.
I am not sure what else we are suppose to be doing. I personally only have
so much money to spend and had to choose on concentrating on the venue I most
enjoy.
