Horatio Gone Mad?

Today, I logged into Horatio's blog....oh! my GOD...this guy went mad or what?? Trying to put blame on Pam Delabar (CFA President) for cancelling her contract..when the mistake on show committee side?. Why they should put blame on Pam, when they book tickets etc without her concern?...come on! be more professional...they cannot take things for granted..whatever concerned, the judge must be informed of any ticket being booked and both party must be agreed on it..

the show organizer cannot just make assumptions (oh! I forgot that this show committees like to make assumptions..) ...

















Then I realised what actually Darrell meant (taken from CFA Asia yahoo list)...erm...so, this post actually meant for this show committee..wahhloww..



Good evening everyone,

I hate to issue warnings, but please read this email and pass the
information along to your club officers and members.

When a club is dealing with the transportation of judges to your shows, make
sure that you maintain an open line of communication between the judge and
the club. We understand that it is sometimes cheaper to fly on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, however, most of us have a life, a job or other
commitments outside of CFA.

Recently a club purchased a ticket without consulting the judge. The judge
had found a good fare, however, the club thought it was a bit too much and
purchased the ticket for a return one day later. Please everyone, you CANNOT
do this without the permission of the judge. Unfortunately, this club will
now be paying for a very expensive ticket and it is not the fault of the judge.

This could have been easily averted, had only the club member contacted the
judge before purchasing the ticket.

Airfares are expensive and we all have been wondering why the airlines have
not dropped the fuel surcharges that they have been adding to our tickets.
We don't have any control on that, but are hoping that those surcharges will be
lowered soon.

If a judges contacts you with a decent airfare, you should take the judge's
suggestion about the price, as we monitor this pretty closely. Sure, the
fare could drop, but it is the responsibility of the club to make sure they are
in agreement with the judge for the dates of the flights.

Thanks,
Darrell Newkirk, Chair
CFA International Division



Maybe Madam Zamina should "banned" Horatio from becoming Ambassador in her next show,...
because attacking Judges, more ever CFA President is not wise thing that Ambassador should do...

I quote back what Madam Zamina said :

"I foresee that this particular Ambassador is not an asset to the programe and should be brought up for Detrimental Conduct."

I think this now more suitable to apply on Horatio...do you??


Today (24th Dec 2008)...We received reply from Pam and Darrell about Horatio's blog...

Of course there is no truth to it. He is covering his own mistakes.
- Pam Delabar (CFA President)

I am surprised that Horatio would write such a thing. I know that Pam sent them the info and they never bought her ticket. Then the price went up. It was their failure to buy the ticket when Pam notified them.
