Title: National Meet
Post by: Mike Gilbert on October 14, 2011, 08:35:30 PM: Does anyone remember what the ABC is to receive from the Crossroads management for placing our national meet there?
I can\'t find anything on the Crossroads website or the catalog.

Or total Ameraucana entries? Or who the Ameraucana judge will be?

Post by: Jean on October 15, 2011, 09:12:38 AM: Dave is not quite done with talleying the numbers but he did tell me that there are over 350 geese and over 700 large ducks. We were talking about waterfowl.....

I imagine he will be contacting us this week.

He did mention that he thought they would need more judges for the LF birds.

I know we placed a district meet with them last time and there was a lot of talk about big money for clubs with national meets, but this sounds like more is actually being offered.
