2010 candidates for KCBS BOD

[Bunny]

Thanks Todd, for the kind words. You know how much barbecue and the society means to me. So I appreciate you.

Arlie,
Yes, I would love for the meetings to be open if we get a system we can afford. That's been the main reason for the "no" votes, not because we didn't want it. There's a lot of members out there in the techy field and surely we can come up with something.

Arlie, those are some great questions but they are all part of the election questionnaire that we are preparing our answers to. They should all be submitted in a week and a half or so. I know exactly why I'm running and although my heart could shout why, I'm taking the time to put it in writing correctly.

Just for sake of interesting facts... nothing more. Here are the number of 2009 contests by Team. I know for a fact that Bunny and Linda do cook. Bunny has cooked with other teams this year and not under her own team name. So we do have at least a half dozen 2009 KCBS contests under the belts of almost all of these candidates. That's a good thing.

26 - Joe Amore Smoky Mountain Smokers Sevierville, TN
6 - Randy Bigler JC’s Pit Crew Huntsville, AL
4 - John Kirby Backyard Burners Baltimore, MD
2 (as Chef Use Ta Was... none under The Baron of BBQ) - *Paul Kirk The Baron and his Pitmasters Roeland Park, KS
8 (including Qlossal)- *Mike Lake Rock River BBQ Shannon, Il
11 - Barb Milroy Texas Rib Rangers Denton, TX
None that I could find - *Linda Mullane Pig Daddy’s BBQ Williamstown, NJ
7 - Jim Stancil Bare Knuckles BBQ Oxford, GA
7 - (including GAB Invitational)Jeff Stith Big Creek BBQ Pleasant Hill, MO
None that I could find under their team - Bunny Tuttle KCass BBQ Pleasant Hill, MO
15 (including the Royal Invitational) - Candy Weaver BBQR’S Delight Pine Bluff, AR

Just an FYI I compete with Jack McDavid when I am not repping. This year I did 3 contests, next year probably a few more. As well as rep for 12 contests and 11 CBJ classes.

Thanks Bunny , I await the rest of your answers but so you know a podcast would be free and or video like Shigs did at the Jack awards, it really isnt a big thing so that is why the general memebrship is puzzled at the NO votes.

Greg Rempe broadcasts over the Internet every week for the BBQ Central Show. Someone to talk to.

Yep and we all can listen for free, then why not a board meeting? Any new candidates have a problem with that? Also funny how we only have a few chime in, sort of makes me wonder why?

Freeconferencecall.com... it does have a limit of 96 participants. Also Blogtalkradio.com is free and you could listen to the meetings for free on the internet. There are a ton of free options. Skype,MSN and others...

I agree with Jeff Stith and the answers to the questionaires should help many of you decide on casting your ballot. I worked on mine today and you should be able to read everyones in Dec's BS.

Thanks, Arlie,

If I were running I would be answering any and all questions asked on line and in public view. Why wait for a form printed in the Bullsheet that some wont even get till mid December. Why if this is important enough for one to run would you in your right mind want to wait 30 days till get your agenda out? Most will have there mind made up long before then based on like of communications from the candidates. That has been a big part of the problem.

Also as stared above a podcast etc could have already been done.............

Yes it is Jeff and you have been good about answering any questions asked. Doesnt it seem funny that some will not answer though, they seem to sit around and lure but dont answer. Guess they dont know you can see they are online at the bottom of the page. Being out there and up front is the best way and you have done a good job. Keep it up!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, and mods please take appropriate action if deemed necessary. I have added a forum to the GLBBQA's forum for all of the 2010 KCBS Candidates to come and post their platform and answer any questions that the GLBBQA members (most are KCBS members as well) may have. If you are a candidate please surf on over and register and post away. I would also encourage you to post on The Brethren as well. The more people you can reach the better. Good Luck to all of the candidates. Hijack over...

I'm thinking it's more of an ad than a hijack.
