SISTER IN LAW Barbara
Deppe FOR OBTAINING EAST FISKILL COM. CENTER
************************************************************************************
This years topics:
Field Trial Marshalling - Bev typed
out a nice "guidance" sheet and
passed. This is available electronically
Discussed new Leadership for the
Parent Club trial since Ed Faraci is
stepping down as Chairman. A warm Thank you went out to Ed and
Esther for their years of dedication and work on the trial.
Discussed shortage of guns in the
East, Ed Faraci Jr. is working
on developing new guns. Reminder that Gun Captains are to fill out Guns
report at conclusion of trial and send to Mark Haglin.
Discussion of rotating clubs into
Dec. to get away from Sept. trials.
Idea was well received, but no one jumped to move their Oct. date to
Dec. Maine was interested in moving to Nov. 4th, but the Maine BOD
voted against it.
Suggestion to move IC meeting to
warmer weather, was not well received,
due to present meeting being close to the Parent Clubs BOG meeting in
Feb. Vote was taken to have 2 meetings One in summer and one in
Jan. The summer meeting is to pick Trial Dates.
Don Cande Memorial Trophy - Karen
Koopman will help with the funds
area, and Bob Ryan will take back to Frank Mackinson to Help Kevin
Battistoni find a suitable Trophy. After Kevin was contacted, he would
prefer to finish this up on his own.
Straw vote taken on the changes at
the Nat'l Amateur regarding the
Qualification date and to bring up at the BOG meeting in Feb.
Julie Hogan put together a letter about items that should be on the
AGENDA at the Nat'l so as to make ALL clubs aware of Voting items to
get a CLUB vote, not just individuals opinions. Straw vote was to
bring this up at the BOG.
The Apprentice Judging program was
brought up and the Parent Club
guidelines were read.
Call went out to see if we have
enough support to hold a Judging
Seminar this year. If you are interested Please contact Tim
Edwards.
It was also mentioned that this is a
great way for a refresher course
for the experienced Judges.
Once again a vote was taken that any
club which moves their Trial date
to Dec. and sustains a financial loss, the clubs from the Eastern IC
will divide the loss between them to cover. This vote is for ALL
future trials held in Dec.

*******************************************************************************************
From Julie Hogan
Please bring this up at the meeting
for the East's opinion. As your
Governor I would like to address this issue of bringing up "major
decisions" (without any prior notice) at the delegates meeting and
voting on them with out the delegates having a chance to talk to their
respective clubs. This is not the first time this has happened.
Major decisions are listed in the National Amateur Resolutions, and
changing the closing dates, and qualifying points, as well as judges
requirements (we also voted to change the National judges qualifying,
regarding whether or not they were currently running dogs in all age
stakes), are listed among the major decisions.
The Board of Governors of the ESSFTA
adopted the resolutions. The
National Amateur is under the Parent Club, with a "hands off" policy,
but clearly the intent of the resolutions is major decisions "based on
the votes from sponsoring clubs". There is no specific statement that
the clubs should be notified prior to major decision in order for their
delegate to know the wishes of the club. Traditionally we all
expect the fee for the National and the number of points to qualify
will be entertained each year at the delegate's meeting. This allows
the clubs to instruct their delegate to vote the preference of the
club. Not knowing a major decision will be brought up for a vote
until the delegate's meeting leaves the delegates to vote as they wish,
not necessarily as the club wishes. I also believe there were
persons listed as delegates of clubs they did not belong to. What
results is a backlash of objections from those not present, as we
witnessed this year. I would like to present to the board (the field
governors first, then hopefully with support the full board) to change
the resolutions to require at least a 30 day notice to all sponsoring
clubs what will be presented as a motion so that the clubs can instruct
their delegates and/or pay their dues and send a delegate to represent
them. And/or make a change to allow someone to
bring up something
at the Annual delegates meeting they wish voted on by the clubs and
arrangements for mail balloting could be made and would not have to
wait a whole year to vote on the motion. The ESSFTA Board in #2. of the
National Amateur Resolutions allows the Parent Club Board to make these
changes.
Secondly if the changes are approved
I would propose that these "July"
qualifying date be voted on by all sponsoring clubs via mail as well as
the qualifications for someone to judge a National. That way the clubs
would have fair representation. It is not too late to change that
motion. Our meeting is the last weekend in February and the Field
Governors have a lengthy work day on Friday the 24th to discuss this,
and hopefully bring it to the board for a vote on Sunday.
I wish I could be there to present
this Tim, please do it for me.
I am ccing Ed hoping he will be at the meeting and am one of our
Governors.

Field
Trial concerns:
Care of Game;
Agreed to show respect of game by keeping out of view and cooling of
game- use of Ice Chests was suggested
Over use
of Trial grounds- very limited space, but always looking for new
grounds and will try for different areas
Inexperienced
Bird Planters and Field Marshall’s Working on putting together a bird
planting seminar /and Bev and Karen to work on Proper Field Marshall
duties
Procedural
errors and Oversights (apprentice judges – know the rules) 2 puppy
stakes
I will put
together a list of all who have taken the Judging seminar in the east
and make it available for clubs to pick an apprentice if that club so
desires.
Read
letter from Julie Hogan with ruling from Parent club/AKC about 2 puppy
stakes to be re-addressed at BOG meeting Feb 26th
First
importance of OPEN all-age stakes- Read the rule from book and Open is
to be run first.
Revising
Starting Times- A starting time was changed at a banquet for the
following morning. Agreed that this should not happen. Change in time
should be mailed with running order.
AN
observation was made that we are all just getting a little sloppy at
our Trials and we should showcase our sport and all work together to
put on quality events.
Move Fall
dates back- Cocker Club has agreed to move their date to Dec.3, 4. This
allowed others clubs to shuffle farther back. All clubs agreed that if
conditions arise and that trial is cancelled that we will contribute so
that club will not loose money on birds.
On
Keystones Fall Date Paul agreed to call Chuck.
