You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[Dean Romig]

I just ordered a pair from Mr. Suponski. I think they'll go quickly.

Remember the days when we had the Annual Meeting at Pintail Point in conjunction with the Vintagers event on Maryland's Eastern Shore? What great times those were!

This year's Annual Meeting has every potential to be a wonderful reenactment of thos days.

It’s the past tense of bespeak. I’m glad you got a chance to use that line. So bespeak up get your tickets before they’re gone, lol

[Dave Suponski]

Pat, I would think that would be Baltimore

[George M. Purtill]

I'm thinking about going and bringing the lovely Mrs. P but........
Are there golf courses nearby for her?
What is the gift? Am I gonna love it?

[keavin nelson]

I just ordered mine from Dave.

[Craig Larter]

George, if you do google search for “golf courses near Chestertown MD” you will find several. As to the gift ... the more you use it the more you love it. :whistle:

Franzen - your fancy vocabulary is leaving me in the dust. Like the ticket you are displaying with a line for Patron?
Patron is what my undocumented immigrant farmworker/Dreamers called me. I don't think that's what you intend. Member????? You are way to educated for me. I barely got out of school.

[Rick Losey]

yeah- i was just kidding with him

to me- bespoke meant custom made - as in a Purdey or a set of tweads

but always willing to learn -

I had an guy who worked for me that had majored in English - he gave a presentation once and i said to him afterward "you talk good" :rotf:

he replied - you mean i speak well

i said no-- you talk good

You boys can thank Mr. Suponski for the fancy verbiage. Those beautiful tickets are all his work.
BTW .... here’s the special gift that the more you use it the more you like it.

[George M. Purtill]

Nice work...... I hope you ordered extra so we can sell/buy some!!

[Mike Franzen]

I don’t know about extra flasks for sale but, I do have a bridge I would consider making a man like you a good deal on. Let me know if interested. I have anther party who wants to buy it.

Yes George, there are courses within 1 1/2 hours of Hopkins and you are close enough to Delaware so they might have one or two courses. The problem with Hopkins is it's in the middle of nowhere as far as hotels, dining, shopping, etc. Nothing like the venue at Pintail Point which was ideally located.

[keavin nelson]

Wondering if there will be room block set up at any preferred hotels?, but maybe I am too early for that???

[Destry L. Hoffard]

I was actually planning on going this year because of the waterfowl gun display. But now, looking at the dates, I'll be in Alaska. Ah well...

WHO DO WE MAKE THE CHECK OUT TO? and the answer is PGCA.

[Bill Murphy]

The old Pintail Point golf course is still open as far as I know. Pintail Point and Easton are in Talbot County and there are plenty of rooms in Easton. The commute to Hopkins is not out of the question. Googling "Talbot County golf Maryland" or "Queen Anne's county golf Maryland" should get you a bunch of choices.

[George M. Purtill]

FYI- the flask which you will get at our 2018 Annual meeting for FREE, sold for $200 in our silent auction at the Parker Gun Foundation Hall of Fame Dinner Saturday night.
So..... all you investment bankers..... Buying a ticket from Dave Suponski for $65 is like being paid $135 to attend the Annual Meeting.

[John Dallas]

That sounds like my wife's budget mathematics

[Mills Morrison]

Yeah, I could buy an A 1 Special if I had all this money my wife had "saved"

[Mike Franzen]

Wondering if there will be room block set up at any preferred hotels?, but maybe I am too early for that???

We have a block of 45 rooms available at the Holiday Inn Express, Chestertown MD. Call 410-778-0778 and use code PGC. Reservations held 14 days prior to the event.

Remember we are only selling 100 tickets to this event. About half are already gone. PM Dave Suponski your ticket order and he will advise you what to do.

This is going to be a fun event. The Vintagers is taking place the same time. Our gun display theme is waterfowl guns. We are holding the silent auction, drawing for the raffle gun, giving away a flask like the one that sold at auction for $200 and much more.

Buy your tickets now and they are only $65 bucks. After July 22 they are $75.
