FTR was asked if Double Sun show could be double pointed in 2018 with show date being June 9th 2018.  After much discussion on the pro and cons of this decision was made that FTR would point a one judge show for Double Sun on that day but not a double judge.  Craig will inform them of the club’s decision.

Motion was made to invite Ross & Gina Sutton to the FTR banquet.  Dave will let them know.
