We will not see Vickie Lamb's Blog for National Amateur this year

[Melanie Foster]

The Retriever News organization has decided that Vickie will not be providing us stay at homers/subscribers with the coverage she has provided in the past.

If you would like to voice your opinions to the magazine to which you pay your annual fee for results and coverage of the National events, you may contact the following folks.

I am stealing this email below from someone in an attempt to make it easy for everyone to cut and paste and send to the decision makers. (slight editing on my part)

"It has come to my attention that at this years Amateur National Retriever Trial, of which you are a sponsor, Vickie Lamb has been removed from the Retriever News Blog. This is unacceptable behavior by the Retriever News and as a sponsor of that event and organization, you should know of the enormous outrage that is being voiced by the Retriever community. Your product name attached to such controversy is poor business practice. I encourage you to immediately contact Retriever News and request that Vickie Lamb be seated "behind the line" to continue her Blog

Very very disappointing, but yet not so surprising from them. They didn't want anyone else to be able to share any information from the National, but yet now they don't want to even share it themselves.

Quite a shame.

[Wayne Nutt]

This is awful.

How will they benefit from preventing her from keeping us posted about whats going on? This stinks! I was VERY MUCH looking looking forward to it!

Thank you Vickie!!

[Melanie Foster]

Well said, Melanie. Hope everyone gets on it right away.

Thank you Melanie. I sent it x 4. but one of them bounced back. This would totally suck as I was planning an awesome weekend watching the Open and the National Am, with fathers day and a birthday.

dang.
