Well, if you have never been to National Capital, it's a rather big and very busy show - too busy to really do a good class at.....especially if you want to spend time seeing all the cats, visiting with folks, and shopping (and the shopping is always great!) And participants, if you later have a question or thought about anything we covered we'll all be at the show and we can discuss it then as well. Here's hoping to lots of you new exhibitors there!

Entry Form Change for New Exhibitors!

29 Jun 2008 11:11:36 pm GMT +ET

At the CFA Annual Meeting this past weekend the Board of Directors voted to change the CFA Entry Forms to include a New Exhbitor's check box. This would be on both printed and online entry forms. This will allow new exhibitors to indicate that they are new (and would benefit from a little guidance) and would allow clubs to bench them with experienced exhibitors, supply them with information before the show or at check in. We would be able to use this information as far as benching exhbitors for a 'in show' New Bee School. So....be looking for this change sometime over the summer!

New Articles Added

2 new pages are now on the New Bee site in the "It's Showtime!" section. The first is how to read a judging schedule and the second is how to read a show entry in the catalog. Neither is an article in the traditional sense. Rather, they are diagrams as to what all the numbers, initials, etc. are....

New Bee Class - January 12 - High Point, NC

02 Dec 2007 03:35:47 pm GMT +ET

(see announcements at http://cfanewbee.org/NewBee.htm and at http://nccats.org for contact info and details) Jacqui Bennett will be conducting a New Bee class after the conclusion of judging on Saturday afternoon in the showhall. Then on Sunday she and I will be doing some 'walk throughs' in the showhall as the conclusion of that class to discuss judging procedures, ribbons, and the like. I'm still in the process of 'growing' the actual New Bee Class part of this program and much of that has to do with both finding experienced exhibitors who are willing to be instructors and venues that will work for conducting a class. Many thanks to the folks who have offered their input so far!...
