In another forum, someone noted that there had been no posts here for sometime, and wondered if perchance the program had 'fizzled out.' Not at all! We're still alive and well and having fun, showing cats!
The NewBee Program in its current state is existing pretty much online in our Yahoo group http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/cfanewbee As for the actual NewBee Class - participation in it was sporadic, partially because time is such a precious commodity at shows and partially because we just don't have a lot of folks within the program who can teach it. HOWEVER - what we're working on is trying to provide clubs with materials and information that should they want to have a seminar at a show or at a club meeting, they can do so.
What we continue to do is encourage all new exhibitors in CFA to both let the entry clerk know that they are a new exhibitor (via their entry form) and/or request that they be benched with an experienced exhibitor or two. In the NewBee forum it isn't unusual for folks to ask who else might be attending a show.
So, if you are new to CFA we welcome you to the NewBee Group! If nothing else we hope that you find the articles and resources on the website valuable. If you have questions or suggestions, don't hesitate to contact me at info@cfanewbee.org |
