Hi all. I just made a room reservation and the rate is about $10 higher than was listed here. Receptionist said a manager made a deal without checking with the boss. Either way, just FYI

The Long Island boys are going, driving. Where is Drakes relative to Deep River?

Rooms at the Hampton Inn for the Southern Side-by-Side dates are selling out fast.

I just reserved for Thursday through Saturday night the last room available from the PGCA discounted-price block.

More rooms are available, but at the regular rates and the rooms are not of the "standard" description that constituted the PGCA block.

I talked with Ashley, the Front Desk Manager, at 919-775-2000. She was very pleasant to deal with and seemed to have good situational awareness.

Drakes is about 25 miles east from Deep River

Wasn’t difficult for me to save money when I went thru the tents the loan year I’ve visited . Everything in the tents I saw that I liked I couldn’t afford so problem solved :rotf:

First year we went was heavy. Then we decide to leave the checkbook at home but then people extend us credit. Now I just plan for May to be payback month. A lot of prices are high but there are plenty of deals to be had as well

Only things I saw I would really have liked to had that year were the dealer from Florida’s FIVE VH/VHE 410’s anywhere from 25-40 G’s and at Galazan’s the J. Cliff Green set that I’m sure he was thinking 250-300 G’s . But then I’ve always had champagne taste and a not even beer budget :rotf:

Got my room at the Hampton, traveling with Mark Kircher, Rick Simmonds and Louis Parker, the upstate NY contingent. I'm sure Brian Dudley a fellow Apple Knocker and maybe others from snow country will attend. How about the people's choice be CEP and show guns as published in the Parker Story. Louis just added a CEP gun to his collection and I added a couple of Show Gun. Just say'n.

I sure am hating that I am missing this event in 2020! I will hate it more if I miss any long barreled small bores.

No worries Reggie, I won't let any get away :rotf:
