OK, a pet peeve. Let me know if this is unreasonableble

It appears to me that Parker Pages is an east coast organization. While that is fine it does kind of cut we on the west coast out. I cannot even think about attending this up and coming party for instance. If I stick my foot out I can dabble my toe in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, far far away from the doings on the east coast.

29% of the members listed on the membership list live west of the Mississippi River.

I was in a car collectors club that had an east and west coast gathering. It worked out well. Maybe there could be a sanctioned event on the west coast/in the western states; all it would take is a group to start it and the Board to approve it.

I was stationed on the east coast when assigned to Fort Benning. I loved it out there. I enjoyed the flora and fauna, the food the people and the history of the east coast, but today I find myself in the far off northwest. It's okay up here, but the birding is better down there. I remember Avery Island, what a mecca. Anyway, please don't hold it against me if I do not attend your up and coming shindig. I'll be there in spirit.

Steve, Parker Pages is the quarterly journal of the Parker Gun Collectors Association. The average annual membership roll is 1,500. Yes, 3/4 of those members are east of the Mississippi, but they are only a fraction of actual Parker owners. There are more events than the bigger multi-day shoots that are available for Parker Universe to enjoy. There are one day fun gatherings that can spring up anywhere. If you would like to get one up and running, join our organization and we can help you get the word out. Anytime we can get a group of firearm owners together for a fun day on the range is a win for all of us.
