PGCA annual meeting

[Double Lab]

What Dean and Bill said but let me add, this is a no-brainer to me. The spring Southern, with the Challenge event drawing a good number of members, is the most logical venue for our annual meeting. Maybe Robin, John, Jeff or other computer whiz could set up a poll on this site so as many members as possible could vote where they would like to see the meeting held.

I hope you guys did not take me seriously, I did not expect that you would actually come all the way out here. Are not most you guys on the east coast? I am actually planing on moving out there if I can get the chance, when I graduate looking for jobs around maryland or new hampshire. Just lementing not being able to go, but Ill make sure to be there next time. Las Vegas is very nice in winter though about the only thing I like about this place.(other than my family of coarse)

Eldon, if you will reread my post, you will find that we have had the PGCA annual meeting in Las Vegas in conjunction with the Beinfeld Winter Gun Show. If you ever attend that show, you will find that the schedule is a bit tight for PGCA festivities. I was so rushed that year that I actually missed the meeting and dinner because of other committments.

I agree but whatever you guys decide on, "Do not put it in the Middle of Bird Hunting Season" ! !

For what it's worth, I too agree with Mr. Corona and Mr. Eis.

Thanks for your input guy's.

I find it hard to believe that no one considered that their scheduling of the annual meeting was during bird season We wait for this the Holy Grail of the year to enjoy our Parker's and dogs and you expect hunters to go to a meeting There are medications available to help those of you that have a hard time remembering fall = bird season

It seems like every year we hear the same complaint. The problem is that unless you hold an event like this in February you are always going to be interfering with some hunting season somewhere. I would like my friends Rich, Eric, Daryl and anyone else to email me at bjfrey1@aol.com your recommendations for a date and location for next years Annual Meeting that takes into consideration the following items.

1. Reasonably accessible/central to the majority of PGCA members.
2. Adiquiet facilities for the dinner/meeting.
3. Preferably held in conjunction with a gun show/shooting event.
4. Area attractions for those that bring family or travel long distances.
5. Does not conflict with any hunting seasons anywhere in the country including turkey, dove, ducks, upland birds, as well as deer and any other game well all love to chase.

As you will see the options are few but the BOD will consider all your recommendations.
