D. Sale Committee report: Committee’s recommendation is to go to Springfield, IL on June 17 and 18, 2016, joining with the Oxford APS Association to split the costs per entry with the other associations. Montadale’s bill last year was about $1,300. Clerking is up to us, or we can use the Oxford, Montadale, Shropshire, and Cheviot Association as a partnership. Both the show and the Jr. Show is up to debate, and how it is run.
Moved by Chris Kaeb, 2nd by Jeremy Refshaw to go to Springfield, IL on June 17 and 18, 2016 for the National Sale.
