[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

If you have the high score in any side event, do you need to be present on Saturday to receive the trophy, or can you delegate someone to receive it for you?

[Mike Franzen]

Austin you would have to contact the Vintagers to get your question answered properly.

[Mills]

Hope to see a lot of members there.

And from Tom Snyder today....

Gentlemen
This is the final schedule for the Vintage Gunners Cup. If you can post it online for your members that would be a great service. Also your members should book their golf carts soon.
Hotels are booking up so they should get their reservations taken care of. I blocked 80 rooms this year. The Candlewood had 30 rooms blocked and last I checked 2 weeks ago they have 39 rooms booked for us. The Comfort Inn had 20 rooms blocked - they filled but will not give the special rate beyond what we booked. I added 30 more rooms at the Holiday Inn which is next to the Candlewood. The information for the Holiday Inn is online at Vintagers.org.
Also, please let your members know they can go to Vintage Gunners on Face Book for exhibitor information and updates.

FYI : Paul Fuller from Bird Dogs Afield will be with us to video the Vintage Gunners Cup. Look sharp for the camera. I’d like to get a picture of all the associations together for our newsletter. If we get a chance let’s see if we can all sit down together to come up with some ideas to make this a better event for everyone.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all at the Vintage Gunners Cup and thank you for all you have done to help make the Vintage Gunners Cup better.
One last thing - in an effort to get shooters to stay until Saturday we are having multiple prize draws on Saturday at the very end. If you could donate something it would be greatly appreciated.
Tom Snyder

There is also a "Go Fund Me" page set up for donations to the Hausmanns:
Help the Hausmann's and Baby Everly Fight Leukemia

The page has a brief summary and a few updates of what is going on. The donation process is very user-friendly, and you can leave a comment with your donation, if you wish.

Just wanted to get this out there for anyone that is not on Facebook or is not attending the Vintage Cup.

You can certainly delegate, Austin. ----Matt

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

Thanks Matt,
I'm hoping to stay all 3 days but at this point my schedule is uncertain. The weather forecast is still looking good and that is a plus.

[MattHaney]

Look forward to meeting you there Austin.

[Pa SxS]

Matt, at the awards ceremony at Hausmann's in June,an official from the Vintage Cup indicated that they were going to try and get cell phone or internet coverage. Any word on that?
