2007 Calendar Shift

Now is the time to check your show calendars for next year – the calendar shifts one week in 2007 thereby creating new show priority dates for APHA-approved shows. The APHA reserves show dates based on the calendar week, not upon the date. Be sure to check with your facilities where you plan to hold your 2007 shows to make sure that your dates are still reserved.

In an effort to assist you with planning for the 2007 show season, please keep the following in mind:

• All shows will be assigned new priority dates based upon the number of the calendar week. Example: If your show was approved on April 1-2, 2006 – your show was held on week #14 on the APHA show calendar. In 2007, week #14 lands on April 7-8 – which will now be your new show priority dates. (SC-090.H)
• All APHA regional clubs who have received approval from the Executive Committee to host shows on traditional holiday weekends on a permanent basis will continue to receive approval for those dates. (SC-090.J.5)
• Those shows required to move forward in the APHA show calendar, thereby creating difficulty in securing facilities, have the option of requesting to move their dates back one week.
• If the show that is requesting to move back one week is located within 250 highway miles of the show that now has priority on those dates as determined by the APHA show calendar, it will not be able to be approved unless all affected show managements agree to waive the mileage restriction. (SC-090.J.1)
• Effective for the 2007 calendar year only, we will accept show applications prior to the completion of your 2006 shows to assist you in securing your dates.
