I'm not disrespecting or cutting ANYONE down................ Bottum line is Small clubs like the HCBC that own a building , pay land taxes and insurence, not to mention electric,sewer, trash and ground maintanence........CAN NOT survive WITHOUT HELP AND SUPPORT from the locals. With the economy the way it is and being the date was between the 2 world hunts I knew we wouldnt be looking at 100+ dogs but I SURE expected more than 13 reg in HB and 10 in PP. And I SURELY expected A LITTLE support from the locals WE try to support all year.
With all the prizes and trophies we gave not counting what I DONATED, The club came out with approx. $150 LOSS. Thats why I'm just a lil upset
Seems like no one knows what SUPPORT, COMMITMENT, and LOYALTY means anymore, Its ALL ABOUT THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR and who can pull off the BIGGEST and MOST hunts. and I'm gettin a lil tired of busting my butt goin to as many local hunts as I can EVEN IF I don't really have a dog ready to win, and offering to guide and or judge to whoever needs me and then trying to hold a quality event and my club gettin burnt for it.
When we lost NHBA days I knew it was going to be tough to survive on the small club hunts, but when we get almost NO support its REAL TOUGH.
I've got some of the greatest members in the state and even though our treasury is at ROCK bottom sometimes, they will NOT hesitate to pull off a benefit for someone in need or something for KIDS where we bust our butts for absolutely NO profit.
Again I'm not disrespecting anyone for running AKC or whatever and Im not cutting on any individual or club, I'm just STATING THE FACTS.
Not sure how much longer the HCBC can survive like this,
So next time we consider ourselves lucky to live in an area where you can go to a beagle hunt almost EVERY weekend and not drive more than 1-2 hrs ....... THINK ABOUT IT.
Without SUPPORT, COMMITMENT & LOYALTY OUR "LUCK" MAY JUST RUN OUT
