This judge asked if we could change Rally from 10:00 am to later in the
afternoon. We checked with our superintendent who said sure if you notify
the exhibitors b/c the Judging Program has already been printed. So the
trial chair mails out notices to all the Rally exhibitors and tells the
judge no problem come at 1:30.

The day of the trial she shows up at 9:30 am and insists on holding Rally at
10:00 stating that she *must* do what the judging program says. You figure
she could have called asking what happened when she got the judging program
which still said 10:00.

Over half of the Rally exhibitors missed the class I (as Trial Secretary)
got chewed out by some very irate people who not only missed the class but
had to pay $6.00 for parking and some drove hours to get there.

Now our club, out of our pocket, has to refund the money to these people.

When I showed under her earlier this year she judged #35 by APDT rules at an
AKC event and I heard just recently was doing the Offset Figure 8 with the
dogs going around the FOOD BOWLS instead of the cones.

Be warned--be sure to check out your judge in advance before offering an
assignment--especially those of you in the NY metro area.
