IP secretary -manager of . the
Ontario Plowmen's

Association, it's not too soon to
,
'tart planning the event. -
Mr. Starr was the gust
sneaker at an information
• session held in Clinton recently
tu answer questions 'on •the
organization of the Inter-
national for 1978 to be held just
south of Wingham. •
The. proposed . site for ' the
match is the farm ' of Jim
Armslron.g of RR A, Wingharn.
The involvement of the town,
and the sureound,ing area in the
organization and the actual
event, therefore, should' be
quite extensive. .

Wingham was present among

Mr. Starr presented a short
background history of the OPA
and the International and gave
some details - on the
organization of the matches..
"'Elie Ontario Plowmen's
Assodiation is not , in the
business , of international
plowing' matches just to make
.1-noncy,''. he said. "We're in it to
. provide a show window for
agricultural mkhinery and all
related fields." .,...,.. ,.
There are three group's ' in-
volved in the organization of
the match: the Ontario
Ministry of7 Agriculture and .
Food: the,0 A, which acts as a
continuing' link for the event •
throughout the year; and the '
local committee "that, makes '
each yetr's match tick." '
'Mr. . Starr detailed the
responsibilities of each group.
The OPA, he said, obtains -
revenue from the sale of space
at thg match. This year's fee
for category one exhibitors is $7
per foot -frontage, but Mr -Starr
said the fee might be increased.
by 1978. . .. .
The ORA _looks after all the .
prizes, ,printing, 'advertising,
The • ()PA also arranges' a
budget with the local corn-
-mit -tee; the budget is directly
related to the amount the OPA
revel ves-from the sale orsp,pce.
Mr. Starr explained that the
OPA ,would also guarantee the
-
payment of all hills incurred by
the local committee regardless,„
of the success oF failure of the ,
ma tell..
In return, the local com-
• mittee would 'agree to split the
Profits from the match, oven..
and above the allocated budget,
on a two-thirds (OPA) one-third
(local committee) basis.
The "all bills rpaie_clabse,
Mr'. Starr explained, includes
the costs of land rental and all
expenditures, even if no one

-It's never ,been a complete

couragingly.
He said the joint agreement
has v.vorked well in the Past and

'iTsked the Ideal committee to
take VII, . suggestion under

ideration. . .
• 'Setting up an agre ment is
just like making a will," he
added, "if you don't do it ahead
jot' tim, you won't be able to do
it later.", . .
Many q f the details, including
the actual bUdget, will have to
wait until the match prior to the
19.18 event is completed..
Knowing this, the.OPA and the
Huron County local committee
willhe keeping a clOse watch on
the matches in the next few
years to absorb details, con-
sider possible ',changes and

their endeavor.
