Dear

The first National Derby Championship was held last year in October and it was a superior experience for the participants. The second National Derby Championship will be held in Sedalia, Missouri this coming October. We anticipate the National Championship will encourage our sport's newcomers and veterans alike to participate at the National level as we award the 2018 AKC prefix title NDC to the 2018 National Derby Champion.

For decades, the National Retriever Club and National Amateur Retriever Club Championships have been supported by member clubs. Each year your club renews its longstanding membership in these clubs in order for the championship points earned at your club's Open and Amateur stakes to count towards qualification in these National Championships. The AKC approved the By-Laws for the National Retriever Derby Club to operate with the same convention. This means the National Retriever Derby Club will annually send your club notice for membership, delegate selection, dues, proxy notice and officer election notice.

The annual dues for 2018 are $50 as communicated to your club in 2017. We did not require dues from member clubs for 2017. In 2018, we require dues be paid in order for Derby points to be counted towards qualification. 

Below is a link to the Digital Form of the 2018 notice for your club to provide your club contact information, club delegate, proxy notification and officer election to the National Retriever Derby Club. Please click the link to fill out the form digitally, then print and mail back to my address below. You can also just print the form and fill it out by hand. If you have already sent your payment for 2018, please disregard this notice. We thank you in advance for your club's participation and look forward to the second running of the National Derby Championship.
