The AHFCA will be there in force. What about the "New England Mob" ??

I'll be there but only to participate in the FPC. For those of you who are familiar with Hausmann's be prepared for a drastic change in the parking situation. Looks like no more camping or parking in the field we are used to using for this event.

I'll be there Thursday and Friday. Do you have any idea what the parking arrangements will be?

They are supposedly going to have 3-4 tents for vendors and organizations. I do not know where they are going to put them. And I guess they have the people to fill them.
I know that Vendors will not be able to park at the tents during the event. I would assume that the field will be used for parking. Just camping not allowed. But I don't know for sure.

From what I understand with the info I got so far is that the field we used to park/camp in will not be used for either purpose. Parking will be in the field to the left as you are approaching HH, where in years past they have had instructional shooting set up. There will be a shuttle from the main venue to the parking area.

And no vendor parking at the tents? That should go over like a lead balloon.

The field where the mad jack was will be used for vendor tents.

I could be wrong, as I am frequently, but I believe the info I got.

Mad Jack is listed on the flyer as a side game. I wonder how that will work if there are vendor tents on the field. And on these shuttles....will there be room for gun carts, guns, flats of shells, etc.? Just trying to figure out the logistics.

I was thinking about going but this sounds like a PITA at best and possibly a CLUSTER. I would think the pigeon ring should have gone in the field to the left as you enter the club. Everybody needs to park but not everybody is going to shoot in the pigeon ring. Shuttle the shooters using the pigeon ring rather than everyone in attendance. Especially since most folks will be going back and forth several times as they change guns or put their stuff away while they go have lunch or look at the items for sale.

Kathy and I will be there. I'm sure hoping other New Englanders will be there too.

Thanks very much Steve.

I haven't heard anything so I had no idea what the plan was to be.
Kathy and I will be arriving on Friday afternoon and leaving on Sunday morning.

I have three or four PGCA tablecloths and the transient PGCA hanging banner and can ship them to anybody willing to set up a booth for the PGCA and of course, we'll need folks to man the booth.

I'm sorry to say it appears that our PGCA pool of volunteers for these Northeastern events seems to have diminished in the last couple of years. So, hoping it won't fall upon deaf ears - WE NEED A FEW GOOD MEN... AND WOMEN TOO.... *hope that wasn't too loud...*

Sounds like a combination of " My Dinner with Andre " and "Waiting for Godot".
