MOTELS
NWGCRC would
like to express its appreciation to Best Western Inn/Baymont Inn & Suites for their
continued support of our annual Triple show. This motel has been
providing clean rooms and friendly service for over TWENTY years.
Please help us show our local motels that they will want to have rabbit
exhibitors year after year, by keeping their rooms and property clean.
Remember that your animals may be dropped off at the show barn on
Friday night until 9:00 p.m. The building is locked until 6:00 a.m. on Saturday.
The Best Western is now the Baymont Inn & Suites - still located at exit 336 off I-75.
Baymont Inn & Suites 706-226-5022

I-75, take exit #336 and go east on Highway 41 (North Dalton Bypass).
At the 5th or 6th traffic light (Cleveland Hwy), turn RIGHT. At the
2nd or 3rd traffic light (Legion Drive), turn LEFT by Wendy's. The

WRITERS - As our way of saying “Thank you” to all who write behind
the judging tables during the day, we will have a Writer's RAFFLE - there will be raffle tickets in
each breed folder. Writers are very special people – we really need you and we
really appreciate you. Drop your raffle tickets in the Writer's Raffle container at the show secretary's table for a chance to win embroidered

SHOW RULES
1. This show will be governed by the latest rules of the ARBA. Filing of entries indicates acceptance of our show rules.
2. Neither the NWGCRC nor North GA Fairgrounds will be responsible for
loss in case of fire, theft or accident. All precautions will be taken
for a safe show. All entries are entered and shown at the risk of the
owners and while the NWGCRC and North GA Fairgrounds are expected to
exercise all reasonable care in the handling and protection of the
exhibits, such associations will in no case be liable.
3. No
substitutions will be allowed except in the same breed, variety, sex
and class. Any other changes will be charged a late entry fee as if
entering a new rabbit, and the original entry will still be charged as
if scratched.
**** This means that only ear number changes will be
accepted. In the past, we have tried to accommodate all exhibitors and
take changes of all kinds the morning of the show and during the show.
Because of the immense volume of changes that we have had in the last
few years, we are no longer able to accommodate any changes other than
ear number changes. After 7:00 a.m., on the day of the show, ALL changes
other than ear number will be charged a new entry fee, as stated in the
above paragraph ****
4. All rabbits and cavies must be permanently and legibly ear marked.
5. NWGCRC reserves the right to add, change, or substitute judges as the need may arise.
6. Any exhibitor indicating ownership, harassing or interfering with a
judge (or a writer) will be disqualified and forfeit all fees and
winnings. No exhibitor will be allowed behind the judging tables,
unless acting in an official capacity, which must be approved by the
show superintendent or show secretary.
7. Once an animal is
entered, you will be charged $3.50 entry fee per animal per entry. If
you scratch an animal or do not bring the animals that you originally
entered, you will be charged a service fee of $3.50 per animal per
entry.
8. Exhibitors that have entered their animals according
to Show Rule 7 and do not come to the show or only bring a portion of
the animals entered will still be responsible for the entire fee.
Exhibitors that do not come to the show will be sent a bill and will
not be allowed to enter animals in future NW Georgia C&RC shows
until the bill is paid. Exceptions may be made in cases of emergency
or unforeseen illness. New exhibitors with less than 12 entries per
day of show (4 entries per show), may be exempted. Repeat offenders
will be charged!
9. Rabbits should be in the show room by 7:00 A.M. EST on Saturday, March 5, 2011.

yourself and write comments.
14. No dogs (except guide dogs) will be allowed in the show room.

changes may result in your animal being disqualified by the secretary
after the show.
18. *** PLEASE CHECK ALL YOUR PAPERWORK
before the show starts - each sheet for each show! YOU are responsible
for the information that is on the check-in sheets. If there is an
error, either because the secretary typed it wrong or because you
provided the information wrong, you must make the changes BEFORE the
show starts. Please note that there is usually a line at the desk to
make entries/changes so get there early enough. After 7:00 A.M., ANY
changes other than ear # will be charged as a new entry ($5.00 Day of
Show entry fee), and the original entry will be scratched, with no
refund - See Show Rule 7. ***
19. No rabbits under 8 weeks of age will be allowed on the show premises.
20.
No sales of any rabbits or cavies will be allowed by anyone not showing
rabbits or cavies. Any exhibitor wishing to sell anything other than
rabbits or cavies must pay a vendor fee and must receive permission
BEFORE the show.
21. Animals may not be entered in shows that
are running simultaneously. Example: Open Show 1 and Youth Show 1 run
at the same time – the same rabbit may not be entered in both Open and
Youth Show 1.
