The Carolina Feather Fanciers Association no longer will request meets from any club other than the ABA & APA. If Breed Clubs wish to place a meet at our show we will be glad to except the meet. Club members of breed clubs that show with us who wish to compete in a meet from their club will need to have their club place a meet with us at least two months before the show to be listed on the web site and in the show book that is mailed out. We are taking this action because for years we have requested meet and no one would show in that breed or no club members would show in that breed. There for we will only have those meets that there is interest in.
