The protest meeting was called to order by Belon Howington.. The protest was concerning the entries for Lacy Wade of the Mid-Delta Association. The entry form was never mailed with the other entries from the association and the exhibitor was given all copies of the entry form. The entry was already signed by the Mid-Delta secretary. She paid for a stall and to ride in classes 9, 14 and 18. She was not on any of the association’s sheet-stalls, back numbers, or class sheets. Mid-Delta had not paid for her stall or classes. Belon had stated he has earlier turned down a request from one of his own association members to add in the 4-D barrels because it was against the rule and the exhibitor was not on the sheets and had not turned in the proper paper work. The number given to Lacy Wade 788 had already been given to Cristil Gallery & 789 was given to Erin Gallery. After much discussion about the error made by the Mid- Delta secretary, there was a motion made by Murl Brunson. to allow the exhibitor to ride in the remaining classes. A second was made by Kim Well. Motion carried by 7 for 4 opposed and 1 abstaining. Those for letting the exhibitor ride were: Murl Brunson, George Gardner, Doyle Batte, Doug Jones, Linda Case, Diane Edwards and Kim Wells. Those opposing were: Jeff Collum, Gina Prisock, Mike Rushing and Tammy Ratcliff. G. A. Liles abstained,
 

Respectfully submitted,
Kim Moss
