The Board of Directors and CPRA membership wish to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jim Bob Brent for his hard work and dedication to the association over the past six years.  Because of his tireless efforts the CPRA experienced record growth in rodeos, membership and finals added money along with the largest total contestants payouts in the history of the CPRA. 

A tip of the hat to you, Jim Bob Brent, for a job well done!

JUDGES, SECRETARY/TIMER CLINICS

Two judging clinics will be offered for 2012.

Saturday, February 25, 2012 - 10:00AM

Location will be next to the Katy ISD Fairgrounds at the Leonard Merrill Center. Address:  6401 S. Stadium Lane, Katy, TX

Saturday, May 12, 2012 - 10:00AM: Bastrop, TX

The exact location in Bastrop will be announced at a later date.

FMI:  Contact CPRA office.

The Secretary/Timer clinics will be offered on the same dates, same locations as the Judging clinics.  There are some changes for this year.  At the December BOD meeting the rule was waived for the 2012 Finals secretary & timers mandatory attendance, but only if you attended a 2011 clinic. 

What does this mean to you? Simply put, this means that if you attended a 2011 clinic you do not have to attend a clinic in 2012 to be considered to work the 2012 Finals.  For those that did not attend a 2011 clinic and wish to be considered to work the Finals you must attend a 2012 clinic. 

We welcome anyone interested in attending whether you are new or not new.

However, this year reservations will be necessary.  Deadline dates for reservations are February 15th for the Katy clinic, and May 8th for the Bastrop clinic. 

Please feel free to contact our office with any questions you may have.
