Considerable discussion time took place in which the group discussed various tasks in each division over which concern had arisen, and clarified and/or revised specific points in each. Safety after water tasks due to slipping
was an important concern discussed that will need additional discussion and discretion from Show Management and judges during a show regarding the safety.
