Hey Fellas
Lookin For a little help here...
How many are actually planning on Attending the hunts this year??
When we started this Club there seemed to be a lot of Folks Supporting it But over the last few hunts there have been VERY FEW show up..We had Promises from Folks in IN, OHIO, TN, WV Ect but to Date have Not had ANYBODY show up
We caint make this happen with out the support of the Members. If we cannot get enough hounds to run time and time again then it just aint worth it...
The last few hunts we had we struggled to get enough Dogs to Run!!! A Club Cannot Run With just a Few Active Members it Takes folks from all over to make it work..Not just the entries but also the member Support in All areas..
We Cannot even get enough judges together most of the time to run.
So Again I ASK. ANYBODY STILL INTERESTED???
Any Input would be appreciated.

I would say most of the problem is people just don't have the money to travel like they did a few years ago. Next I think it is conflicting dates. Can you post a schedule of your hunts? I know UKC says it is not pratcial for an extended schedule but it would sure be nice to see all hunt dates for a year.This could help for club scheduling purposes, scheduling vacation and maybe even saving up a little money if it was importiant for a person to get to a hunt they are wanting to go to.

Don and TJ I did this for all the ohio progressive pack clubs, so everyone knows the hunt dates. Might try it for performace pack. Here are two sites you might take a look at.

Now that we have two clubs posted, you can see if there is any conflicts of hunt dates Some of the negatives of this is we are competeing with AKC, NKC and other registries, gas and milage and at the mercy of the registeries as to our dates.. Almost any weekend you can go to a hunt in your state, UKC H&H, PP, ARHA LP, PP AKC, and PKC.

TC,

Even though I am 6 hours away, you know I will help when I can. This is one of the best clubs I have been too.
