The Ohio Region Elimination Trial was held at the Columbia Game Club, Sullivan Ohio April 16 and 17.  The weather was not cooperative as usual for this time of the year in Ohio.  There were heavy rains on Saturday and Sunday brought gale force winds.  A special thanks to our officials for the event, Chairman Suvoyee Rudd Ohio Region President and Field Marshalls Rick Hill and Scott Joachimi.  Our Judges were Ashley, Bob, and Matt McCandless from the Kentucky Region and Brian McConnell from the Indiana Region.  Our hard working bird planter was Mike Mulberry, also from the Kentucky Region.   We are appreciative all the work they put in often under some miserable conditions to make the Region Elimination Trial a success.

 

During the break for lunch on Saturday, Region President Suvoyee Rudd chaired a Region meeting where new officers were elected.  Treasurer Don Stir also provided the latest region financial report.  The Region officers, board members and membership have all done a great job this year in keeping the region on solid financial ground.  It takes everyone’s hard work and dedication to make that happen.

 

Congratulations to our new Ohio Region Officers:  President Rex Messner, First Vice President Derek Plyler, Second Vice President  Mike Akey, Treasurer Don Stir, and Secretary Shawn Farrell.
