- Review, discuss and vote on nominees.
Each nomination was reviewed and the answers to previously asked questions were shared. A roll call vote was taken for each nomination. Inductees will be announced on Fieldcockers.com in November after the inductees have been notified.
- Start list of possible new committee members for 2021 – need to replace three current members.
Three members of the current committee will have fulfilled two terms at the end of 2020. Ideas for possible new committee members was brainstormed. This conversation will continue in November. It is nice if the committee can represent all geographic areas of our field trials. The member should have been in the sport a long time and have a knowledge of the history of the people and dogs in the field trial game.
