Thanks for your kind words of support, Ed. This, indeed, looks to be the last year for the live video streaming. I have always been passionate about the project, but can no longer fight the fight. Each year we have little support from the club members. Usually around a hundred viewers. I can justify our club spending thousands of dollars for something in which the members appear have so little interest. This will break my heart when we close down this year as I know so many of our older members are hoe bound and no longer able to attend the national. But when it costs the club so much ($13,000 this year ) and so little return, well, in these tough economical times it's a tough go.
