I'd be shocked if that was the only package mailed out
Greg Rempe (The BBQ Central Show) said he received a package and he talked a couple of others who also received them.
The Kansas City Barbeque Society is disappointed to learn that a local publication recently published an article that has given a group of disgruntled former officers, directors and vendors a media platform to spread misinformation. Packages with these untrue statements and confidential matters were mailed to various sources on behalf of “anonymous” parties. These packages were falsely made to look like they were sent from the KCBS headquarters, though staff confirm they were not sent from the office...
I don't think that happens until the February meetingAny news on the new president and committee chairs?

February Quick Notes released yesterday. It looks like there were a couple big moves noted. I assume more detail will be in the full minutes, but looks like a single meat contest as part of a fully sanctioned contest got approved - Ribs as a pilot.
So, does this mean that at a sanctioned 4-meat competition, a single (KCBS sanctioned) meat contest could be held independently of the 4-meat competition? And I'm guessing the 4-meat competitors could also enter the 1-meat competition alongside a group of 1-meat competitors?
I love this idea. Hope it comes to the Mid Atlantic.They passed it as a companion only in conjunction with a 4 meat contest for the trial period. My hope is that they will allow single meat stand alone events in the near future. They are not meant to run concurrently. At my event (the pilot), rib only turn in is Saturday night, KCBS 4 meat is Sunday.
This should significantly lower the barrier to entry for both competitors and organizers. My event will have a $135 entry fee and an $8,000-$10,000 prize purse... for one category. Grab $60 of ribs, toss a table and a drum in the back of the pickup, turn-in a rib box, grab your money and go home. Hell, toss in 2 cookers and carpool with your friend. Your investment as a cook is next to nothing and you’re competing at the highest level. An organizer doesn’t need to worry about acres of space, generators, tent cities, etc... it’s a win win that will fuel a growth spurt.
The only thing I asked is that they change the organization’s name to “BBS” or “Brad’s BBQ Society”. I didn’t see how that vote turned out. I’m sure it passed in closed session.

Just got around to listening to the Feb. Mp3. and noticed that KCBS is now going to start charging a 3% processing fee to allow you to pay for your membership renewal
via credit card or Pay-Pal.
I was told that you may still snail mail a personal check for free!
