South-Central District Meet Info.

ABC By-Laws Article VIII (Jan. 2009)
\"The Ameraucana Breeders Club shall hold an annual National meet to be rotated clockwise each year among the districts. . . . \"
My interpretation is as follows:
2014 North Central District
2015 North Eastern District
2016 South Eastern District
2017 South Central District
2018 Western District

thanks~ that helps a lot- I am super visual so the map JPEG was wonderful.

I would find it facinating to know how many members are in which states... it would show where the ameraucana population groups are and where we need to work on recruiting more members/breeders.

I realize that we have a breeders\' directory, but that does not list all of the members, just those that want to be listed in that diretory, correct?

Michael publishes a member list once a year, and if I\'m not mistaken, it\'s usually in the winter issue of the newsletter.  He breaks the list down by district.
Yes, you are correct that only those members that request to be are listed in the breeder directory.

Per the ABC National meeting handout:

Club membership as of October 19, 2010
North Central - 33 members
Northeast - 40 members
South Central - 30 members
Southeast - 39 members
West - 25 members

Total = 167 members

Anne, did the hand out state whether those were members or memberships?   The membership is pretty evenly spread across the US, that is nice to see.

It says members.

Update:
The District Directors have voted and all agree to allow the 2011 ABC National meet pass to the NC district. Jerry is in the process of placing it at the Crossroads show in Indy.
2010 = SE
2011 = NC
2012 = SC
2013 = W
2014 = NE
2015 = back to the SE

Since the NC district placed a national out of turn they will be bypassed (or give up a turn) as I understand it.

[John]

Do they vary the location w/in the district? Any chance the next one might be more toward the middle of the district, like maybe Atlanta?

Beth,
For national meets directors generally place them close to the NC district to get the most members to come.  Even though some other districts now have more memberships, it seems they don\'t have as many that exhibit.
Each director may place an annual district meet and I would imagine they would want to place them at a show that would also be likely to draw the most exhibitors.
