Amend Show Rule 24.2.2, 211.1, 211.5, 211.6 (Catalogs)
Rationale
Catalog printing has become a very high cost in many areas. The form of the catalog, printed, electronic or combination should be the club’s choice.
Note: This proposal does not impact how a cat is shown, and therefore does not need to wait until the start of a show year to be effective
Advantages of the Proposal
- Clubs can reduce show expenses as a printed catalog is no longer required
- Aligns 211.6 with current practice when Friday night pre-show check-ins are used
Disadvantages of the Proposal
- None identified
