Re: [Killietalk] Convention Show - New Rules

["Chris griffith" <ccgriffith1 at gmail_com>]

The person or persons who changed the rule should explain to the membership
logic behind the change. We may discover that there are a number of very
good reasons for the change and the change will be good for the AKA.

However,  If  the reason the change was made was because the Europeans do it
or some people believe wild fish give an exhibitor an unfair advantage, then
I believe the best way to handle the change would be to delay it and at the
next convention have an open discussion at the convention so the members who
are exhibiting fish at the convention can have some input.
