WDA has always accepted USA clubs that wanted to affiliate without an affiliation trial. That has been the case for years. There is no annual trial requirement for clubs.

A few individuals are of the opinion there will be very little migration, and the members will put up anything even if they disagree. I am of different thinking, people are very upset over politics in general and how it is effecting their lives, because of this I think your going to be very surprised by the Exodus. I think this statement they will be making is larger than just the GSD, They are just flat tired of how others are effecting their lives and how the board is to represent the body as a whole, not a select few or their own agendas.

In the past and always, WDA has the requirement for the mock/practice  trial - it is at the RD's discretion if it is waived or not.  It has been voted on to waive any existing USA clubs.  Correct that no one forces clubs to have an event every year to keep thier membership.  That's the point, no one is forced to do things in WDA.  Its supposed to be fun, not another job and financial strain.  And the members have say so on not having a trial, kind of nice. Frankly I am tired of bailing USA clubs out of the red every time I go to one - its always another $400 cash donation on top of entry fees, travel, paying for people to take care of my place when I am gone.  Maybe if clubs were not forced into having a trial, they could do so when they could make money or save up enough to cover their own expenses.  Honestly, I have never had to bail out a WDA club trial.

I am WDA member and I am happy. Never liked USCA.

Kim,

"Forced to have a trial" ? You go into it knowing you  have to have a yearly trial it doesnt jump out of a box after you have became a club  thats a pretty week argument Thats like saying "I went to the doctor and he asked me to say AAAWW how dare he" ? or going to a proctoligist and complaining "Do you know where he wantted to put his finger" 

I was in a small club for 10 years and althought we had just enough members to exist we never lost money at the trial actually at worst we broke even.
