Hi Folks!
I hope you’ve all been keeping safe and well. Now that we’re emerging from winter hibernation and from the pandemic lockdown, it’s time to talk about what 2021 brings for BCCME.
The Board met this afternoon via Zoom to discuss our events. Here’s what’s going on:
We’ll send more information as we get it. In the meantime, why don’t you folks tell us how you’ve been? We can’t wait to see you!
Here they are:
We apologize for the suck-tastic ring times, but they were much worse before the show chair argued on our behalf. Most of the time, we get our requested late-morning time, but this year, we have a popular judge and requested a popular ring time. We’ll have a blast anyway!
Before we show, we’ll have finger foods and munchies in the party tent. After we show, we’ll bring out the late lunch buffet and hold the raffle. Stick around!

Hello Mainiacs!
The summer, like so many summers before it, is already looking to be crazy busy. Here’s a list of dates for events and deadlines that you’ll want to know about.
June 23-24: Supported Entries at the Chickadee Cluster in Cumberland, ME. Here are the entry breakdowns:
Saturday: 1-2 (0-0)
Sunday: 1-2 (0-0)
June 30: last day to submit photos for the 2019 Beardies of the World Calendar. All the details are at www.bowcalendar.com .
July 1: Time to start thinking about membership renewal! You can even renew online, which saves the trouble of writing checks and mailing stuff. I will be away for the BBQ this year, so you won’t be able to hand me any membership stuff there. If you can, please renew online or via snail mail before the BBQ.
Also on July 1: Our insurance renews. I’ll be spending some club money on that shortly.
July 14: Not only is it Bastille Day in France, but it’s also the date of the 13th annual BCCME Beardie Bounce & BBQ! As usual, it will be held at Val’s house in Scarborough from 12-4 PM. Bring something for the potluck, bring a pen to vote in the annual election (members only), and bring $$ for the traditional raffles.
(Yes, we did change the date of the BBQ to the 3rd weekend in July, but Val can’t be home to host us on that date this year — so we’re back to the second weekend this year.)
Lastly… save the weekend of October 20-21! Maryann, our Activities Chair has been planning something special! Priority for signup goes to BCCME members first, so there’s an incentive to renew!
Val has been working on getting a Fun Walk together in Scarborough sometime. More on that as the details get ironed out.
That’s all for now… Please contact Val with any ideas, if you’d like to run for office, or for any good reason at all.
