I think Judy has a good point, and I think I can give a fairly unbiased opinion as I don't usually get involved with either the shows or with any of the general membership meetings, so I don't really give a rip right now, maybe in the future. I seem to be a late bloomer with getting going with the horses, almost 44, but I have a lot of good years left in me to do horsey stuff, you'll see me one of these days. I don't know how many attend a general membership meeting, but I would say far more probably attend a Fjord Horse Show, such as Blue Earth or some of the other big ones. The only thing I could say about the general membership show being at the same time as a horse show, is that everyone seems to be probably a little pre-occupied with making sure their horses/gear/etc is all set, that they may not be in the frame of mind to have a general meeting for the NFHR at such an occasion, unless it was like the last night of the show when all the judging, eventing, etc, was already done with. And then another, winter is sort of a off time with the horses, so more attention can maybe be given to the general housekeeping/paperwork end of the NFHR during the winter months than the volunteers would like to put into it during the summer.

I think it is an out-of-the-way place for a membership meeting. I wonder excatly how many of our NFHR members live in or near Georgia and how many plan to make it to the meeting? Anyone? Why not have the general membership meeting in conjunction with one of the regional shows in order to make it easy for members to attend? Rotate the location year to year. Just a thought.
