6. Fleece Committee
- reported by Judy Ross
Current open
issues will continue to be worked on in the coming year.
Fleece Champion certificates are still on the "to do" list.
Chairman's Report:
Harvey has been working with
ALSA after a situation arose at a show where exhibitors who
were not ALSA members were required to become ALSA members
in order to show in the ILR-SD show. The ALSA Board agreed
that this was not proper and is amending their rules to
prohibit this practice at ALSA sanctioned shows.
Harvey made a
motion to add a rule to the SD Guidelines that show
management shall not require any exhibitor to join any other
show association or sanctioning body (such as ALSA, LFA and
others) in order to show at an ILR-SD sanctioned show.
Second by Bill, all approved the motion.
Harvey
presented current ILR and Show Division membership numbers
and a comparison to last year. A brief discussion of
membership requirements followed.
