ABC members know from the last Bulletin that the Board Of Directors will vote this coming weekend on the location of our 2006 National Meet.
We still have only three offers:
The Crossroads of America, in Indiana,
The Eastern Iowa Poultry Association show, and
The Bay City Poultry Club show, in Michigan.
I will submit a ballot to the Board members, via Email, on the 15th and they have the final word.
Any comments?
Since I live way out West, of course, none of these are feasible
to me.
So I ask myself..when I attend shows.
Where are the largest number of the members living?
So a larger number of exhibitors can attend and bring birds.
Because, I like to compare my birds to others of my breed,
and see where I might need improvement. If I am the only one
showing breed and want to see how my birds stack up to the other exhibitor friends birds( what a disappointment if none or very few.) It\'s always
fun to be able to exchange breed information with fellow breeders of the breed or breeds one might be showing.
Where would the best facilities be for holding the show?
Accessability to the show area (easiest driving route), parking, motels. RV grounds with hookups.,
I know it makes a difference to me...I hate to arrive and have
difficulty in finding and gaining access to the show.
These are a few of the things I consider where and when I show.
Thanks, I hope its a great success whereever it may be...
Bay City has a really nice website...good job.
thanks, phil
