I attended the meeting in which Mace did this. Everything you said here is true, except as you stated, I'm not sure if the judge rode to the hunt with Mace. I think he did, but I'm not sure.ps. I have heard this from multiple members at different times(3 to 4 individuals not in the presence of each other).....the deal with mace last year was xxxxxxx got a phone call from some people that left after the sat. hunt and said there was no use to stay for sun. hunt since they had already been cheated why spend more to get cheated again. When the members wanted to hold a meeting to change the appearance so nobody would even be able to make that accusation mace would not allow a meeting to take place. he held out til he could get del morgan and the board together and held the trial against dale barnes, randy beavers, and matt glomski. he accused them of being jealous and of his accomplishments and said they were basically working against him and his efforts to improve the pp division. mace had also got ahold of the people that called xxxxxxxxx and i believe scared them into saying they did not say anything. at the hearing mace brought papers in showing that the three in question had judged his dogs xxxx amount of times and never brought his dogs back a winner. evidently in his mind that was enough to prove they were conspiring against him. in no way is it possible his dogs never deserved it. i think alot of people are scared of mace due to him being a lawyer and the head of pp. the part i do not know for sure is ,,,,,, i heard that the person that brought him back winning both days rode to the hunt with him.
We caught them in more than 1 what ever you call it, a lie or typo or miscommunication and for that they banned us for life. I hope that the new format in ukc takes off.
That meeting was a joke. Del Morgan sat there himself and expressed his anger at having to come all the way to Indiana to straighten out a problem which should have been settled at a club level. I agree with him...it should have been settled at a club level. Problem was, Mace refused to have a club meeting. Of course, Del wouldn't acknoweldge that. Instead, the meeting turned into a "let me see what kind of dirt I can throw onto the table about these guys" meeting by Mace. He actually had the number of times Matt Glomski judged his dogs, and complained that Matt never brought his dogs back winning. Maybe, just maybe, Matt was honest enough to really bring back the best dog, and not bow to intimidation. Perhaps CC Hardtrack dogs aren't as solid as Mr. Clark thinks they are. I don't know. I do know that I'd let Matt judge my dogs anytime, anywhere. And I'd trust his judgement. In my opinion he has probably forgotten more about beagling than Mace will ever know.
Of course, Matt won't be judging in ARHA anytime soon. They pulled his liscense. For what, you might ask? Well, as I said, I attended the meeting. Mace accused him of saying "I will bring back the best dog, regardless of what the rules say". Matt admitted this. So, he was accused of undermining the PP "judge em by the rules" push.
Yeah, judge em by the rules, as long as it's my interpretation of those rules and you never question my interpretation. I feel he was attacked because, as Mace himself pointed out, he never brought back a CC Hardtrack dog as winner. Maybe, Mace, your dogs aren't as good as you think. (?)
Well, in the end, three people got banned. But, the problem remained.
Now, more are banned, but the problem remains. I resigned my position with Morgan County Beagle Club, and for that I was banned? Wonder who's next?
But the problem will remain.
That's just sad.
Or will that make me as bad as them........since I would be throwing friends under the bus?
