It will be free to the participants as long as they are willing to judge one of our shows this or
next year. Mark will contact people who may be interested and they will find a coordinating
date.
Motion by Larry, seconded by Ken: That the CCHA buy 3 judging DVD's:

We will make copies, keep the original and sign out the copy for a fee that will be returned
when the video is returned to CCHA. Mark will be in charge of this.

carried.
Discussion: There is a timer for sale on Kijiji for $500.00. Should we consider buying it if it's still
available? It was generally felt that the stopwatches work well since we don't have to time
into tenths or hundredths of seconds. They are also easier to store and transport.
Discussion: Should we be putting money into the NAERIC Ranch Hors Versatility Show? It was generally felt that we should be putting this money into prize money for our own shows. This
needs to be reviewed annually.
Next meeting: Apr 19, 7:00 Thunderbird Horse Center
Meeting adjourned by Susan
