    Albion had their first event (Show only) on Saturday. I thought it was a pretty good turn out being the first weekend in March, and it was really great to see some new faces mixed in with the "regulars" Wink I was also happy to get a chance to start working with my newest addition "JAMMER" on the bench after the long winter. I put him up at home for the first time only a week ago, so I wasn't really sure what to expect at this first event, but he managed to put together a "bang up job" and came home with best in (class/breed/show) at 11 months.

    Now that its "Event Season" again, it got me thinking about a thought I had last year. We have Hound Clubs active in Albion, Calais, Oxford, and Kingfield. I believe this message forum has members representing all 4 of these respective clubs. My thought was seeing if we could organize a few "point people" from each club to post up their clubs event schedule in this section of the forum and have a place for them to post results from the events as well. Just thought it would be nice to see who's doing what as the season goes along Smile

    Oh that's too bad... I knew it had been tough finding judges for them last year, but I hadn't heard that they were only doing night hunts this year. Well hopefully they can get a member to get certified as a judge to keep the club alive, the sport can't really afford to lose anymore clubs in this region than it already has...

    Thanks for the info Bill, hopefully someone from the Oxford region will take you up on it! Sure would be nice to build up the club's around Maine the way some of the other states have, what better way to show support for what we are trying to defend!

    I agree! Every club should have at least 2-3 people with a licence......In order to advance titles in your dog you need differant judges anyway.....Plus nice to mix it up a bit with differant opinions on the quality of dogs that are compete'n....I will do all I can to help anyone that want to do it......
