BevLive: Belle Grove

What a fun day. The Texans arrived at Edgeworth. I have found that how ever much fun you are having it can be increased with the addition of the right Texans. Ron Burkey, Ron Enzeroth and Alan Mills arrived in the morning and we all worked sheep. I had to leave early to get to the trial for a 1:00 committee meeting so they kindly let me go first. I hated to leave so much good humor but at 10:00 I bid all a regretful farewell and headed down another road. Happily this was a short drive to Belle Grove.

It was so nice to get here and find out so many people had been working so hard to make a Finals for us all. The place looked beautiful. Miles of fencing repaired and covered with black screening, tents erected, flowers everywhere. A really organized Finals. We are so lucky that each year a group volunteers for this horrendous task.

The Trials Committee that I’m on is the one appointed by the HA (USBCHA) to run the actual trial as opposed to the event. It’s a little murky but the host committee provides the venue and makes it all possible and the HA makes sure that the course is set up right and that everything on the actual trial field runs smoothly. A lot of cooperation is the main thing but since the local committee and the HA want a great trial it usually works pretty smoothly and this year looks like being no exception.
