2013 PGCA Annual Meeting Silent Auction Results

[Bruce Day]

The PGCA exhibits at the Pheasant Fest and NRA shows are and have been since the inception, PGCA sanctioned events, insured by PGCA insurance carriers, approved by the board, making money for the PGCA and soliciting members for the PGCA. PGCA owned guns and accessories are shown. Although expenses have been minimal, where they have occurred, they have been paid by the PGCA. For example, the Houston show, it was too far for Charlie and me to haul tables, so tables were rented by the PGCA. The monies brought in at Houston far exceeded the expenses incurred.

Past board members such as Charlie or me lead the effort and are responsible to the board for the appropriate conduct of the event, and we usually have one or more present board members assisting. We have evening dinners and have usually identified them as PGCA dinner meetings and all in the area are invited to join us. Usually Charlie or sometimes me has a short talk about where the PGCA has been and where headed, in a positive and encouraging manner.

Unless a PGCA event is defined solely as an event where there is shooting as opposed to collecting and fellowship, IMHO, these events are PGCA events.

"Allan, you don't have to apologize for your choices. Many Parker collectors go to Las Vegas every January regardless of where they live. It was always a cheap trip for me when I went, even though I live on the East Coast. If the PGCA annual meeting is at a California Side by Side Association event, I will consider going, even if I have to fly. I didn't like Louisville as much as Vintagers, because it was a gun show venue rather than a shooting venue, but I am an old Louisville attendee, so I went. I even liked Richmond, because we drew some collectors and guns out of the brush. I think we should go to Cody because most of us have never been there. Did we have a Cody meeting? I would be willing to do it again, even if we have been there."


Cody has a great gun club too!!
