Steve, Mike is correct. The EC voted at the August meeting to cut the magazine back to being a quarterly. This has been under discussion for some years. The magazine costs about $4,500 per issue. The Stovers have done a great job in getting new advertising and put out a quality product, but we just haven't had enough collected revenue to support a $27,000 magazine with the current membership base. There should be a magazine out very soon (the Oct-Dec) and then we will have a quarterly. If you haven't yet gotten an application for renewal, let me know and I'll get back to you.
We sure missed you at the Brushy Hills Hunt. With Spike with a bum knee, I was the only one there that could shoot straight enough to get a pig from the home group and we needed you there to uphold the traditional end and to keep a certain Irish individual out of the "sauce".
