The WUSB-President, Wolfgang Ketzler greets all present, particularly the St. Bernard friends from France, who participate for the first time.

Otakar Vondrous greets in the name of the Club Presiedent Jiri Vitek all

delegates and guests and wishes the events a good course.

Against the minutes from 2001 are raised no objections.

Wolfgang Ketzler reports on the events of the last year. It was a very quiet year. At the begin there were some discrepancies because of the date of the WUSB. The reproach, the date would have been postponed, is wrong. No fixed date was announced in Lichtenfels. He explains the problem of the club of New South Wales and announces that the club is still member. Furthermore, he reports on the membership application of the Slovenian St. Bernard-Club. The application has come too late. Julian Hernandez from Spain has applied for the WUSB-Show 2004. Unfortunately the application cannot be considered as long as it is not put officially and the internal club-issues are not clarified in Spain.

Wolfgang Ketzler regrets that some clubs not yet have paid the "Barry International". He asks desperately for disposal.

The secretary has got some complaints that the Barry-printings were delievered packed badly, so that some copies could not be used. She will get in connection with Kari Augestad.

The treasurer, Mister Roland Hans, is excused and has handed over his cash register-report in writing. Wolfgang Ketzler reads out the figures.

Jan van de Belt complains to the repeated time about it that too few contributions and pictures are sent by the clubs from the single countries to him. Kari Augestad has told him tha the 5-years-contract will end. A renew must still be negotiated. Too few advertisings come furthermore. It is determined that this is because of it, that the Barry appears too irregular and the advertisings are relatively expensive for it.

7. Pronunciation over the reports and current situation in the WUSB and its member-clubs

- over it was discussed under the other items -

On the basis of the difficulties in the single countries in reference on two judges in the ring, award of the CAC etc. a decision must be made here in principle.

After longer discussion, following possibilities stand by the selection:

1. The WUSB-rules were not altered

2. It is altered indicating that only one judge is in the ring

3. No more CAC is forgiven, two judges remain in the ring, as it was in WUSB-Shows originally in the beginning.

The member-clubs should speak about the possibilities and shall send its suggestions up to the 31.12.2002 to the WUSB-President. In the next delegates-meeting, one should decide on it.

One votes on the motion.

Unanimously

The proposition of the BCD was sent to the delegates. Marianne Ruß, the President of the BCD, explains the club's status. They are member without right to vote with full payment of the contribution.

Wolfgang Ketzler reads out the statutes and the letters in this issue from the different clubs and the letter of the president of the German St. Bernhards-Klub, in which he refuses it, to hand over a voice.

Marianne Ruß gives evidance of the following: in a conversation with the president of the St. Bernhards-Klub, Peter Brieskorn, he has said to her that he would have nothing to object to it that the St. Bernhards-Klub a voice at the BCD would hand over.

Wolfgang Ketzler explains the contexts to the meeting. At the beginning this problem was not existing, since there was only one club per country. As the BCD applied for membership, it became member under the named conditions. It is matter of each single country, how they apportion their votes in the WUSB. The delegates have actually no possibility to decide this matter.

As a result Marianne Ruß offers a compromise proposal. She withdraws the proposition, asks the Board to consider the matter and will put an application on statutes-alteration in the next year.

The representative of the Swiss St. Bernard-Club, Reto Wiederkehr, reports, that there are nothing news at the moment. The publication of the new standard will still last sometimes, since the corresponding drawings are still missing.

It is pleasant that in the single countries Saint Bernards are x-raid on HD more and more. However, it still works out in some countries difficult, because the umbrella organizations don't play along.

Wolfgang Ketzler asks the representatives of the clubs to apply with effort to their members for x-raying the dogs. This can first happen on voluntary basis. One could think later about a breeding-limitation.

The meeting now have a discussion, in which is spoken also over it, whether perhaps. a certificate by the WUSB can be produced for breeders, who x-ray their dogs.

As a result, the delegates-meeting makes following decision:

The member-clubs of the WUSB commit themselves to make large efforts that its members x-ray their dogs and to publish the results.

Unanimously

Otakar Vondrous reports, that only 6 judges are available for the show on the next day and therefore a division on four rings with 2 judges is not possible. The problem is discussed. The meeting comes to the result that it will be judged in 3 rings with two judges. On the basis of the entries of 95 dogs, this is possible easy.

Unanimously

The President of the Belgian Club, Franky de Tandt, gives the meeting an extensive overview about the WUSB-weekend 2003. The date is the 07. / 08.06.2003 (Pentecost) in St. Truiden. Franky de Tandt hands out a folder to all present with records over the place St. Truiden and information about the Belgian club.

He tells furthermore that it is certainly an incentive for the exhibitors that takes place the World-Dog-Show a week before in Dortmund and at the 09.06.2003 a CACIB-Show in Arnheim.

Wolfgang Ketzler thanks for the good information.

Following judges are chosen:

Jan van de Belt (NL)

Paul Baelen (B)

Lutz Waßmann (G)

For the WUSB-Show 2004 are available the applications from Hungary and Spain. Since the application was not yet put officially from Spanish club, Hungary remains as single applicant.

One votes on the proposition.

Unanimously

There is no request to speak..

Wolfgang Ketzler closes the delegates-meeting and wishes all a beautiful and interesting weekend and the events a good course.

Wolfgang Ketzler welcomes judges and guests heartily.

He informs the meeting that only six judges are available in the Show tomorrow because of the absence of some judges. Therefore, one judges in this year only in three rings. One will draw lots for the naming of the judges for the 3 rings, as usually, in the evening in the banquet.

He reports on the decision of the delegates-meeting, that the WUSB-Show 2004 will be organized by the Hungarian club. Date probably end of March 2004 near Budapest.

Franky de Tandt, the representative of the Belgian club informs the present about the WUSB-Show 2003 in St. Truiden in Belgium. The date is Pentecost 07. / 08.06.2003.

The president of the Czech club greets the present judges and guests and wishes all a agreeable stay and an eventful weekend.

Against the minutes of the last judges-meeting in Lichtenfels 2001 is raised no objections.

To the two points, Wolfgang Ketzler informs the judge-meeting about the reports from the delegates-meeting.

Christine Wiederkehr from Switzerland reports, that the standard-discussion is completed, the corresponding drawings to the standard are however still missing.

To this item of the agenda, Otakar Vondrous has invited four dogs from the Czech republic. Erika Kalscheuer has prepared an evaluation-form, in which the dogs are judged after points. She hands out the form to the present judges. The dogs are presented separately. After each judge has forgiven his points, all discussed the results.

Many interesting discussions result from it, in which the different opinions are represented.

After approximately. 1 hour, all dogs are judged and been discussed extensively. The judges are agreed that such judgments and discussions at the living object are very helpful for an homogeneous judging.

After that Wolfgang Ketzler closes the judges-meeting, wishes all a beautiful and interesting weekend and the judges the right touch for their activities.
