As far as the check-in, classifier, and cashier positions, these are short term jobs and then these helpers can be used someplace else. One of the most important jobs is to have a chauffeur. This can be a club member with access to a car who can pick up the Judges at the airport and deliver them to the hotel and this person needs to also make sure the Judges arrive at the show hall the morning of the show. There have been times that Judges have been forgotten because of the hustle and bustle of getting the show started. The chauffeur also needs to get the Judges to the airport for their departure flights.
Early arrival is essential on the morning of the show.
The first table that the exhibitor must stop at is the check-in table. Here they will pick up a show catalog, two part entry forms, and cage tags. For each variety of bird they will need a separate entry form. For example, if there are Cockatiels and Parrots then two separate entry forms are needed. After the paperwork is completed, the exhibitor attaches the cage tags to the front left bottom corner, 3rd rung in.
