Spring Southern SXS
 

The Spring Classic is right around the corner – April 21, 22, 23 and 24, 2016, at Deep River Sporting Clays and Shooting School. Here are some special events not to be missed:
•A Slide Action event has been added for Thursday, April 21, from noon to 3 p.m. It will be 60 targets over 10 stations. The entry fee is $50. To register call 919-774-7080.
•Event registration will take place in the Clubhouse (rather than the Pro Shop) and will be done using computers (shudder). Seriously, we hope to streamline the registration and scoring process, but coul;d use your help by registering in advance. Even if you just sign up for one event, we can get your name and address into the database.
•Saturday’s Pig Pickin’ will be catered by Allen & Son Barbeque. After a long absence, local restauranteur Jimmy Stubbs of Allen & Son will be catering our Pig Pickin’ promising to make it the best ever. Still only $20. Dinner tickets can be purchased on site any time up to the 5 p.m. serving time April 23.
•Blue Grass music will continue to be celebrated on Saturday, this year before dinner. Don’t miss Alice Zincone and her band in the tents from 3 p.m. on.

I received the email from the Southern today as well.
Does PGCA have a block of rooms yet?
Thanks Mills.

Mill, are there any restrictions on pump guns? Are plastic Benelli Novas OK?

The slide action event is not my department, so I am not sure. I doubt there are any restrictions on that event, though.

Room info will be available soon. PGCA should have a block at the Hampton Inn (as in years past) momentarily.

George,
We do have a block of rooms reserved for our members. We will once again be staying at the Hampton Inn on South Horner Blvd. in Sanford NC. The phone number for the Hampton is 919-775-2000. The rate will be the same as last year at $94.00/ night. When making your reservation just mention you want the PGCA rate. Larry

We are altering the Parker Smith Challenge a little this year. There will be two courses, as in years past, but one will be a 25 target practice range and the other will be the 50 bird qualifying round. This change was in response to requests for a practice range. More details will follow. To make it work, we are starting a little bit earlier Friday. Stay tuned for more info.

Social/Meet and Greet
 

We are planning an informal social/meet and greet after the Smith Parker Shootoff on Saturday. Many of us attend that know each other online, but not in person. We will have name tags and possibly some light refreshments. I hope all PGCA members who attend will take a moment to come over and participate. It will be great to put some names with faces.:bigbye:
