[SEL] Dogs on show grounds (OT?)now fences...again.

[Arnie Fero]

G'day Kerry,

I think the ONLY way that you'll get the attention of these clubs and
their Gestapo members is to organize boycotts of the club shows in
question.  You'll need to get enough participation so that the diminished
exhibitor numbers are obvious and the organizers NEED to know WHY they are
being boycotted.  Signs posted (or carried) outside the venue to inform
the public would also help.

If folks continue to attend and only bitch, you accomplish nothing.  If
only a few exhibitors give the show a pass you accomplish nothing.

The mind boggles at this sort of behaviour.  Especially at a National
event.  WHAT are these people thinking?

See ya,  Arnie
