I believe the closing for all breeds is 14 days before, and for specialties 10 days before. But sometimes you have to remind the event personnel, or they will automatically set it for 14 days before, and sometimes the date of closing will be the same for the prior year..... Regardless, the clubs need to work together to make it as easy as possible....if possible <G> Ileana In a message dated 6/1/2010 2:44:36 P.M.

Not sure but I think our Mich shows have different closing dates. Makes life confusing. It's not a problem I always ssent entries at the same time to avaiod missing a show.

So when doing all this planning, clubs should consider really working together on this issue JMO Ileana ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
