This week, Amy Peck is
sharing her expertise as an experienced show holder, and as NAMHSA's Show Membership
Secretary.
What I do when I receive the
NAN cards for my show...
As a show holder, you should
have your show's NAN cards within a couple of weeks of your show. If you do not
have your cards by then, please contact the Show Membership Secretary (SMS).
Currently, most shows are receiving their NAN cards within 60 days of sending in
their show application.
When you open the packet,
inside will be the NAN cards for your show and a sheet of paper outlining some
of the responsibilities of holding a NAN-qualifying show, including the date the
show results are due back to NAMHSA. Please read the included
sheet!
The cards are usually
rubber-banded by color.
To make it easier for me the
day of the show, I get a ziplock bag for
each division and a copy of my
classlist.
I count the cards for each
division, and label the
ziplock bag with the division name.
When I am finished, I have
all my divisions separated and ready to go!
This is a good way to confirm
there are enough NAN cards for the show, plus a few extra. If you are short
cards, contact the SMS as soon
as possible. If it is before the show, additional NAN cards will be labeled and
mailed to the show holder. If it is after the show, you will need to keep track
of which classes did not receive cards, the qualification winning model names,
owners and addresses. Contact the
SMS immediately after the show
with the information of cards needed and cards will be mailed to the show holder
for disbursement.
Thank you, Amy, for your
tips on organizing your NAN cards!
I made up envelopes with ribbons 1 - 10 and two cards in each so the judges had things sorted and ready for them. They seemed to like this! There were extra ready in case they split a class, too.
