Did you receive a balance sheet explaining your reimbursements? What I am saying is that every club that is thinking about hosting a Fut Mat had better know UP FRONT what they are and are not going to be reimbursed for. All it is doing now is sucking money from the regional clubs. There is no way you can make up for the expense that the clubs are putting out. You say you provided all of these wonderful things and you only spent 250.,00 Dollars That is amazing to say the least. We have to rent the park and extra day, pay for an extra day of insurance naming the PC co-insured Fly a judge in and put them up for a night. Feed the people who come to the show. You would need 35 extra entries to pay for the extra expense for the hosting club. Did your club get that many extra entries? Terry I was at the SE Futurity. The shows were held in a park on a beautiful ball field that my bare feet just swooned over. They had a tent set up all 3 days for the handlers that had ice, cold drinks and fresh fruit available. They had raffles all 3 days and members had food available for everyone. If I recall correctly, they pulled 3 point majors for the specialty shows and the Futurity/Maturity itself was small. The members worked hard and did a great job. I too am curious as to what the 950.00 was for.
