Treasury Report: Balance of $4878.26
Shows: Discussion on shows for 2012. Linda has received input on having 3 shows, with one being double pointed or 2 shows, both being double pointed. Took vote at meeting and 10 votes went towards 2 double pointed shows. It was suggested to contact Chambersburg Saddle club to see if it was possible to have a show there. Connie Mong brought up the fact that four years ago when we had the show there the ring was hard to drive in because it was so deep. Mary Ellen Breon said that was because it was just put in and has settled a lot since then. Suggested dates were June 10 or 24th, and September 2nd or 9th. Rain dates will also be chosen for each show.
There will be a show committee meeting ONE hour (6PM) prior to the regular meeting on January 2, 2012. Anyone on the show committee is encouraged to attend this meeting. Dates will be made and talked/voted on at the regular meeting at 7PM.
Also suggested was a non-pointed fun show. A May 19, 2012 date was discussed. Talk about getting someone to judge other than a regular judge to keep the cost of the show down. Anyone who may know of someone with a knowledge of mini's who would be willing to judge this show, please contact Linda Marsh about it. Mentioned it should not be a club member.
Meeting was adjourned by Linda Marsh at 8PM
