What are the dates for the 2004 GWPCA Nationals? I have to schedule my vacation days at work for the next year.

Vern,

Are you serious!!! Shocked

I find it hard to believe that they would hold a field trial in the middle of the hunting season. Looks like I'm going to have to skip the nationals next year. Sad

That's too bad, but we all have to make our choices. There will never be a perfect date.... but for me, I wish we would consider moving into the spring months.

Been wishing that for years, but guess I am alone in my "wishes".

I feel obligated to chime in here too - changing the nationals to a spring event would be great. I've tried to attend for the past 3-4 years, even had a room reserved a couple of times but work always won out. I could even bring a wire or two with if nationals weren't held during hunting season.

They will be held in Ionia, MI. 90 miles NNW of Detroit. Approx. 20-30 minutes west of Lansing.
