And! Let us not forget the 2nd Annual Parker/Fox Challenge! Details are in a seperate thread. This is a fun event!

Destry,
I sent you a PM with my shipping address. Thank you for once again this year contributing to the auction. It's the generosity of members like you that make this a fun and profitable event for the PGCA and its members. Larry

I sincerely hope everyone is marking their calendar for this year's Annual Meeting and Banquet. I know it is only two weeks after the Fall Southern but the sporting clays course at Addieville East Farms is second to none and a great many Northeast sporting clays competitions are held there several times per year.
In addition to the great shooting venues at Addieville you will also be right in the middle of the Annual Vintage Cup World Side by Side Competition along with the two (possibly three) huge tents with vendors from here in the states and Europe displaying all sorts of double guns and shooting accoutrements for sale.
Don't miss this 'once a year' event.
In addition go evdxything 'under the big-top' Robin Hollow Outfitters is right on the grounds, so don't miss it!
This is only two weeks after the Fall Southern at Back Woods so be sure to mark your calendars... you don't want to miss this year's Annual Meeting!!!!!

[Mike.Smith]

Dean, I called and booked my hotel rooms for both Backwoods and Addeiville this weekend. I need to get my check off to Mr. Suponski and I'll be all set. September is going to be an awesome month!

Mike

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Mike, we hope everyone will be able to attend both events but realize that for various reasons for some this is not possible. Those who can will. We hope both events have full attendance and are a great success for all.

[Mills Morrison]

When do the tickets for the raffle gun go out? We have a check ready when they do. Apologies if the answer is somewhere else on the forum

[Mike Kobos]

It is important to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. I just spoke to the hotel and more than half of the rooms are already taken and they expect the hotel to be sold out. The special price on the rooms expires on August 27.
Here is the hotel information: Hampton Inn & Suites
Rate of $104.00 per night
945 Douglas Pike (Route 7)
Smithfield, RI
401/232-9200

[Dean Romig]

Please remember that the PGCA members represent only a fraction of those who will be attending the Vintagers World Side by Side Championship and visiting with all the vendors in the tents. Hotel rooms will be booked by all of the other attendees as well as all of the vendors and some late attempts at making reservations will likely be "left out in the cold" with no place to stay close-by.

Make your reservations, per Mike's instructions above, as soon as you can... I have mine!!

[Dean Romig]

Last week I received my Raffle Gun tickets from Ed Morgan. Everybody who is a current Member of the PGCA should have theirs by now or will be getting them very shortly.
If you don't get yours in the next week or so, please contact Ed and he will see that you get them.

[Mills Morrison]

I am still waiting on mine . . .

[Dave Suponski]

All, We have secured an additional 10 rooms at the Hampton Inn at the PGCA special rate. Be advised that the special rate expires on September 12th. Also I would advise getting your room booked now as the hotel is almost full.

[Charlie Larkin]

How many members attend the annual meeting?

[Dean Romig]

Generally about one-hundred or so.

[Larry Frey]

Charlie,
I can only comment on the last few years but I would say the average would be around 60 members. During the years it was held at Pintail Point I believe it drew 100-120 members. Especially the year we had the Invincible’s there.

[Dave Suponski]

Gents, I have posted some pictures of this years event in the "Albums" section while we await Mike's photos. Enjoy!

[Daryl Corona]

Thanks for the photos OP. What scares me is the uncanny resemblance in pic #6 of you and Edgar.:eek:

[Dean Romig]

Thanks for posting those pictures Dave.
