2025 meet requests

[Laurie Ashley]

OK, I'm starting to get my 2025 show calender lined up, and will be  getting ready to submit meet requests.  Who do I need to send them to now, and by what date? Seeing as how several of the winter/spring show dates aren't published yet, catalogs aren't available,  and I don't have judge panels for many shows, it makes it difficult to get these done very far in advance.   

But I have 4 upcoming January and February sh9ws I would like to submit.

Laurie, Michael Muenks is still the director in charge of placing meets, at least until January 1, 2025. Then there will most likely be a new director given those duties so Michael can take over Rebecca Howie's current director duties of Membership renewal etc. This is what our current meet policy says;

Club meets may be placed by the Director in charge of meets when a member requests a meet for a specific show, he/she
plans to exhibit Ameraucana at, in time for the meet to be publicized in the quarterly Ameraucana Newsletter prior to the
show's entry deadline. Members need to know well in advance when and where meets are placed for planning purposes.

The Next Newsletter will be published on March 1, 2025 with its deadline to submit articles and meets being February 15, 2025. Which meet request really need to be submitted well in advance in order for the director to receive confirmation from the show secretary prior to the newsletter submitting deadline. Our Newsletter is published March 1 (spring), June 1 (summer), September 1 (fall) and December 1 (winter) each year with the submitting of articles deadline being the 15th of the month prior, just as a friendly reminder for future reference.

Ok I had a number of meet requests submitted well in advance, to ensure timely publication for the March 1 newsletter.  But I noticed today the meet requests page is "not found".  I also need to know where to submit show reports now, as I have no contact information for the new meets director

Laurie, Scott Lepak has been given the task of director in charge of meets and meet reports. Here is his email address  Scottelepak@gmail.com please CC me on any meet request and meet reports you send him slicktree@hotmail.com that way I am aware of them and they don’t get lost or misplaced.

Brian Bailey should have posted the new meet report and meet request form. I will look into it tonight when I get home. Unfortunately Michael Muenks is having some medical issues so I am unaware of any meet request that were sent to him.

Ok will do! Thanks

Laurie the upcoming meets are still listed? At least I can still find them on our website???
