Ken and others:

Thanks.

I found out something that may make the lunches issue moot.

The Concours Judges are not under local jurisdiction, they "work" for the CORSA 
Concours Chairperson.  The local convention sponsor simply facilitates that 
effort.  Indeed at the Convention, the judges report to the CORSA Concours 
management, not to me, the local guy.  CORSA will be setting up the judges 
assignments etc. not the local clubs.

The CORSA Concours Rules state "The Concours d'Elegance rules must be used at 
all CORSA International Conventions and sactioned regional conventions.  There 
are to be no local exceptions to these rules, no different interpretations nor 
innovations at CORSA Concours".  Seems pretty clear to me.

I've been instructed by CORSA to provide for the lunches for their judges.  I've 
been told that such lunches are in the Convention budget. So as local Concours 
Chair, I need to, under the Rules, provide that service.

I believe the rational for the lunches was/is to maintain a consistent core of 
CORSA judges, not just for this Convention but for future ones. Indeed, this 
core of judges functions at various conventions.

Now, if the clubs want to get lunches or other benefits for the people (I agree 
with the concept) under their jurisdiction they certainly can.  If we whant to 
violate the CORSA Rules and not provide lunches, the convention management 
would  need to take that up with CORSA.
