We are changing some of the contest rules, please note the limit of THREE trays per entrant for judged awards.

 

There is no limit for the Mount As You Please.

 

We find that we are running short of judges and if we all enter all the contests we run very short of judges.

It's our plan to have a larger number of judged awards at our spring show with it's higher attendance.

In Fall 2010 we will have fewer awards but we hope to have more "mount as you please - popular vote".

This is an ongoing discussion at the general meeting, please share your thoughts.
