<VV> dash plaque?

[airvair]

You all weren't the only one. I checked in on Monday, and my buddy Mike
on Tuesday, and neither one of us got a dash plaque. Methinks that they
overlooked this item. Guess this travesty puts them in the same league
as the St. Louis concours-less convention. This is inexcusable IMHO, as
I happen to have a complete collection of CORSA convention dash plaques
dating to the first one in '71. I have the first 26 (the first
convention actually had two dash plaques) on a wall board that was
displayed at the '95 convention, and planned on putting the next 25 on
another matching board. I'll have to put a plate in its place
designating the Lexington convention as a plaque-less event. How
pathetic.

Come on KY clubs. Don't be so cheap. Break down and issue a dash plaque!

 Smitty says:  I too missed getting a dash plaque.  I was told that to
give them out would have been a 1,200 dollar expense.  I suggest that if
folks got away from making plaques the size of billboards they might be
less costly.  I have never been impressed with big ones.  I have plaque
boards with plaques from every show I have attended since the 60s.  It's
no big deal but I will glue one of the chocolate favors from the banquet
on a board where the convention one would have been.
