We need suggestions from our membership for sweeps, breed, obedience and rally judges for both our 2009 fall match and specialty shows. Agility judges are already in place through 2010, but suggestions are welcome for subsequent trials. Please submit your suggestions in writing (emails acceptable) to any one of the following people:

The obedience and rally judges’ committee consists of Bonnie Chandler, Rita Connolly and Boots Gibson.

Alanna Kelly coordinates suggestions for agility trial judges.

Sweeps and breed suggestions for the match and shows can be sent to any CSSC officers or board members. A complete list can be found on the members page.

Judge selection criteria The club desperately needs input for judges from its members. This is one of the more important tasks you can accomplish for our club. Good judges at our matches and trials attract good entries. If you have comments on your suggestions that would be helpful to other members when it comes time to vote, feel free to include them.

Timetable Judge suggestions should be submitted by December 31, 2007. The list of judges and background information on each will be published in the February newsletter for the month’s meeting, where voting by the general membership will take place. The meeting will be on Sunday, February 24, 2008.
