Default Certified BBQ Judge class in Cedar Springs

I plan on going to volunteer my time being a table captain. Hopefully, I will see a few of you there.

Subject: KCBS Judging Class
To: <grensid@iserv.net>

To all,

Mike Lake approached me at the Silver Lake Dunes BBQ competition this year
and asked me to set up a Judging Class in early 2011. So the purpose of
this email is to let you all know about it and to get the word out.
We have set the class for March 12, 2011 at the First Baptist Church of
Cedar Springs located at 233 S. Main St. Cedar Springs Michigan 49319.

Sign in time is 9:00 am and the class starts at 10:00 am. It should be
done around 2:00 or 3:00 pm

The cost is: Non KCBS members $90.00 (this also includes 1 year membership
in KCBS), Members $50.00

I already have two teams that have expressed interest in cooking for the
class.

To sign up contact Roger M. Gren at grensid@iserv.net or call 616-263-6063.
So if you know anyone that would like to take the class pass this email on
to them. Also, if you want to take the class let me know.

Not sure Jerry. I just emailed Roger asking if he needed help and he said he needed table captains.

2, maybe 3 from me for this class...My BIL lives in Cedar Springs and expressed interest in taking a judging class. Kelli and I were waiting for one to come this way too.

I talked with Roger today and he needs more attendance to reach his goal of breaking even. He said he had 10 or 12 signed up and hopes that he will get 10 or 12 more.

Wow; that isn't a very good showing considering that Spruce Ridge represents four of the occupied seats. (Yes Rich, Mike, Bubba; being overly focused, unsociable hard a**e* means that we told everyone on the Spruce Ridge team that wasn't already a CBJ that they either became CBJs in 2011 or they hit the road. ).

I was really hoping that more teams would send some crew members/spouses/neighbors and both help their teams out and give Roger the turnout he needs. We all love to bitch about not having 100% CBJs at contests; if you know anyone who might be a good CBJ candidate, please try to get them to Roger's class.

Just sayin ...

Brian

We held a class last year and had over 60 people attend. I am not sure why there is not a big response to this.
