In finding that the straight championships cannot be run at certain venues this coming year, another alternative would be to reinstate the regional run offs.
Splitting the membership roughly in to two area’s and having a run off where the first two went into the championships would mean that all three days would be a first class turn out and also not so much travel for everyone to attend a regional meeting.
Those who then went through could have the run offs in one day, 64 dogs should be easily catered for without the expense of towing a caravan or an overnight stop at a hotel etc. It was a system that worked fine in the past and I am sure it could do again.
