well, that's what i thought, but Pete just said that all the midland ones are booked and i can't have another

But you may be able to do one next year Bunsey. I think each club sets its show dates annually and they are all submitted and organised for a year in advance. You should make your offer at the next Midland AGM or if you can't go send it to the secretary then it can be scheduled for 2009. Ours was done that way.

yeah that's pretty much what Pete said, but the thing is, which one of the regular shows will have to be dropped to have mine. none of the midland members live up here apart from me, so no-one is gonna vote to loose, say, Alcester or Shurdington and replace it with mine. my show just aint gonna get the votes

I'm all confused...so is there an actual limit on the number of shows per year, rather than just this year having been all sorted out?

Bunsey · 05-02-2008, 08:49 AM

i don't know. it seems that way, yes... otherwise i can't see why i couldn't just add another show, if i booked it well in advance.

i'm just gonna leave it. i'm not gonna bother upsetting people and if a show is cancelled for me to have my show "miles away" then people are gonna be annoyed.

There isn't a limit on how many shows any club can have. The problem normaly is getting judges, kitchen staff, book and pen stuards etc. All these jobs are down to the show manager to arrange, and that is no mean feat when trying to sort them out for the whole year and trying to get different people.

Yeah I spoke to Chris today and she said the same thing. I suppose it must be quite difficult as judges all have show hams so don't want too many days judging when they can't show etc.
