We have had multiple cancellations in the last few months where judging assignments are concerned. If you commit, you should fill your obligations/commitments. This has been a problem in other areas of the country, not just the Mid Atlantic.
The male class doesnt stand a chance it seems. You never know who is judging until you drive 3 hours and surprise! Recently I went to Laurel Sportsman, Ridge, Peninsula , 3 PA trials where the judges cancelled. I realize not everyone has excess to the internet, but if there is a judging change, why cant it at least be posted on Brace Beagling so the word could get out and announced at trials or meetings so people know. Worst case, as most of us have cell phones and know who usually supports the trial, communicate the judging change. You get the point, and why is it always so much easier to sit back in the gallery and complain; or the new way is get on your cell phone and start the ball rolling.
So lets utilize our resources and communicate to the beagling community.
