Larry Urban said that they are in AOSB. I will have to look into this, he said they were in the wrong class when they were in the Continental class when he judged. I guess I just figured a judge would know so I went off of what he said without looking for my self

I volunteer to be a member! Do I need to PM you my information? Is there a club web page yet? If not, there is a great free web provider called weebly - very easy to design and edit a webpage. I would be glad to volunteer to get that started if that's something that is needed. I know there are yahoo forums and what not, but a dedicated webpage for the "club" would be good. I guess that goes back to the issue of what are we going to call these birds though? Can't create a webpage without a name!
