To all Current Members of The Okies in the BYC Thread :
During our September fall POOPS event we held a meeting at the end and it was open to all members where we discussed many things. We talked about way's to improve our next / future events, and there about 20 or so in attendance, One thing that was brought up is whether or not we should change the name of the annual event from POOPS= People Of Oklahoma Poultry Swap to...... COOPS= Citizens Of Oklahoma Poultry Swap.
There was much disscusion and it was decided that it would be best to bring this topic up for a vote from our current members and the subject was tabled until a date had been set for the next 2010 event, that time has come and our next event will be held on Saturday May 1st 2010.
Some comments that were brought up both in favor and against changing the name, here are a few of them that were discussed.
POOPS is a tradition, it is unique to our group, it is easily recognized. one the other hand it convey's well.... POOP !!! chicken Poop, it does not portray our group in a good light or is demeaning, it isn't well suited for such a grand yearly event, plus it doesn't do well for our T-Shirts.
COOPS can be carried on as a name worthy of a title that can stand the test of time, It just plain sounds better and doesn't involve chicken POOP, COOPS sounds more chicken oriented and in well understood without confusion, folks will never hesitate to ask what is COOPS, when they will be very reluctant to ask you about POOP.
So with that said please post your vote and any comments you have, the new name will be used this year and will be included in this years T-Shirts and Official announcement.
