 The meeting will be held on Feb 17th at 6 pm, in the clubhouse. I encourage as many of you to attend if possible. Our chapter will be hosting the VDD GNA Annual Meeting here in July, so we will have alot of items to discuss and would like your input. Food and some beverages will be provided,but feel free to bring your own adult beverages. Please RSVP to myself so that I can have a proper count for food.
The club is open for clay shooting, and there is plenty of area to exercise dogs,so bring your dogs and shotguns if you desire.
  The breed show will be held the following day, Feb 18th, also at Wasatch Wing and Clay. Lunch will be available for a small cost.
Following the breed show will be a VGP Judging seminar, all apprentices and judges are invited to attend.

This is for all Apprentices and current VR's . We strongly encourage all Judges in the WWC to attend as we will be dicussing many topics. The Apprentices need this seminar to become a Judge and many current VR's need it to stay current with their requirements to remain a Judge in the VDD and JGHV testing program.
