Proposals:

  1. It is proposed by the Executive of the Canadian Nationals LPH Association that the
association own and operate the Canadian Beagler website. The site will contain all

shedules, results and archive data for all licensed trials in Canada. (This new site was
developed in large part by Pauline Pawson for which we thank her very much)

Motion: It was moved by Barry Fisher, seconded by Greg Steeves to approve the
proposal as presented. MOTION CARRIED

2. It is proposed that the Canadian National LPH Association at each bi-annual meeting
designate a Canadian Beagler website manager, and an alternate to operate and
maintain the site for the following two year period.

Motion: It was moved by Dennis Cook and seconded by George Steeves that Pauline
Pawson remain as Manager of the Canadian Beagler Website and Judy Walsh would be
her alternate for the next two years. MOTION CARRIED

3. It is proposed by the Canadian National LPH Association that all Canadian beagle
clubs be required to pay $20.00 per year, and that the payment be made at or before
the National trial each year.

person for each club.
