Dear Members,
 
While we are all enjoying this hunting season with our Griffs, your AWPGA Field Committee is already hard at work preparing field events for 2019!  The committee is working diligently on field events for the National in Idaho as well as the Korthals Series in several regions.  Judges have been secured for events in Idaho and currently we are working on securing a venue for regional and the national events.Members that have an AKC Master Hunter or a UT dog any prize that have prized in 2015 - 2018, will receive invitations to run their Griffon in the Korthals Cup to be held in Boise, Idaho.  These invitations will have a RSVP date of July 1, 2019.  Both AWPGA members and non-members will be invited to run. 
 
Also, if any members have items pertaining to Field, such as Judging cards, ribbons, collars, etc…we would appreciate you returning them to Jan Resler*.
 
Look forward to updates from the Field Committee as we plan a successful year of events for you and your Griff in 2019!
 
Sincerely,
AWPGA Field Committee
