Brags & Wags From Lizzie Moir: My boy, Warrick, continues to astound me with his work ethic and desire to learn.

Judge s Selection Process The RCLRC has a wonderful and democratic process for selecting judges for our annual specialty and b-match. The ability for all club members to nominate and then vote on the judges is unusual in the Labrador world. However, it can be a chaotic and time consuming process at our annual meeting in January. We often have guests and non club members in attendance. Counting votes by a show of hands when people are distracted with conversations (and lots of wine!) can be difficult. Club members in good standing will use the attached form during the months of November and December to nominate judges. The nominations will be placed on a ballot that will be handed out to club members in attendance at the annual meeting in January. No nominations will be taken from the floor. Ballots will be counted and if a run-off is required it will be done by show of hands for the tied candidates. Each club member s nominations are limited to the following (only one name can be put forward if that is all that is all the member wants): Two regular class judges for the specialty Two sweepstakes nominations for the specialty One obedience judge for the specialty B-match nominations are limited to three names: Regular class judge Sweeps judge Obedience judge Please research your specialty selection(s) to make sure they are not judging another West Coast specialty or local all breed show in the year prior to the RCLRC show date. Provide a brief history of the judge and their kennel name that will appear on the ballet. Obedience judges do not need this information but must be able to judge obedience at all levels plus rally. For your b-match nominations consideration should be given to people who plan to eventually apply for a judging license. A RCLRC member is usually selected to judge wweep at the b-match and the regular class judge can be anyone. Obedience nominations should be able to judge obedience and rally. Please make sure the b-match nominees want to judge before putting their name forward. Please read directions above INSTRUCTIONS Complete the form on the following page. This can be done by hard-copy (please print) or via Microsoft Word (sent in a seperate file). Forms are due NO LATER THAN JANUARY 1, 2017 (no exceptions!) Hardcopy forms must be mailed to Judy Chambers at 10184 Ehlen Road NE, Aurora, OR 97002 Emailed forms must be emailed to Judy Chambers at judy088@centurytel.net Ballots will be handed out at the annual meeting to members whose dues are paid (remember, no nominations may be made at the annual meeting). You do not have to attend the annual meeting to nominate judges. Ballots will be counted at the meeting and winning judges will be announced If we have a tie, we will have a run-off by show of hands If you have questions, please contact Judy Chambers 4
