2004 NAC RUMOR(s)

 

It is heard about through the grapevine that several issues might be brought up for discussion and possible
change at this, years National Amateur Championship (NAC) delegates meeting on Monday, December 6, 2004.
Make sure you and your club delegate know what your club wants to do, regarding these issues.

 

# 1. The same old issue of the, “QUALIFICATION FOR DOGS”. There will be a push again
to change WHAT HAS BEEN STANDARD FOR YEARS. I believe, from what I hear that
 the one(s) pushing this agenda have several votes so, if you don’t want change, get your
VOTES LINED UP.

 

#2. I understand there will be a push to change the qualifications for NAC JUDGE(s).
Where one MUST BE RUNNING DOGS IN LICENSED OR MEMBER FIELD TRIALS.
Running in at least four (4) trials, Open or Amateur in the past couple of years. Not just
GUNNING, JUDGING, ETC, But RUNNING DOGS.

 

#3. The five, year experiment of moving the NAC into the various Inter clubs has come
to fruition. Is it time to go back to the OLD WAY, more to the center of the country
most years, where most individuals can drive with their dogs to the trial? THINK ABOUT IT.
