Do you have to be a member to show?

Hey!

Do you have to be a member of ARBA (or of the association that is putting on the show) in order to show rabbits there?

Thanks!

ARBA shows, any one can show as long as you pay the fee and the rabbit qualifies per standard. FFA, 4H, other shows may be different of course.

You have to be a member to show at the National ARBA Convention, but most (or all?) other ARBA shows anyone can enter.

This question has me wondering if National Breed clubs require membership in their organizations to show at their breed conventions?

Hmm this is true, I took question as for normal shows. Conventions are another animal. Ohio Mini Convention and PaSRBA, membership isn't required for them (been to OMC and looked into showing at Pa). I've never seen it mentioned that must be a member for specialty single breed shows, I showed in dutch special 2 years ago and wasn't a club member. If in doubt, ask the club secretary if can't find it in the published rules in the show catalog.

You do not need to be a member of the National Breed Club to show at the National Specialties.
But , You also will not earn points in that breed ... if You are not a Nat. Breed club member...

ARBA Convention is the only rabbit show where Exhibitors must be members... and You have to show Your card to get the entry packet.
