IMPORTANT NOTICE: 2020 Invitational Canceled
|
Dear MARC Members,
It is with deep regret that the Board of the Master Amateur Retriever Club has determined that, in the best interest of all participants, the 2020 Invitational in Corning, CA is canceled. The decision is consistent with directives from the State of California regarding the cancelation or restriction on public events. Entry Express will refund all entry fees. Dogs that have qualified for the 2020 Invitational will have those qualifications carried forward to the next scheduled Invitational. Those that have made reservations should cancel those as quickly as possible to avoid penalties. Questions should be addressed to your regional representatives or to the club at masteramateurinfo@gmail.com. The spread of the coronavirus and the uncertainty of risk exposure drove the decision to cancel. While the risk to any individual might be low, we can’t ask participants to assume that risk. It is in the interest with an overabundance of caution that the event is being canceled. The Board is looking at alternatives should the risk of exposure be reduced. In the meantime, be safe and take all recommended precautions. Sincerely, MARC Board of Directors Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns – Bob Swift, President |

A Little About OurselvesThe Master Amateur Retriever Club (MARC) was established in 2016 as a national retriever club dedicated to the amateur handler. MARC believes that amateurs are the purpose and backbone of the AKC Hunting Test for Retrievers program and will support and encourage their involvement in the sport. MARC, while patterned after the Master National, is a separate and distinct organization. MARC will host an annual invitational event – The Master Amateur Invitational - for qualified amateur handled retrievers.
