Here we are guys and gals!! Time to mark your calendars for our annual 4 day event. I'll post more info here as we moved onward. THX!!

I would like to encourage events like this to be posted in our forum wide visable calendar too. I took it upon myself to post this there for everyone to refference but I think it would be better for the posting member to do this because now I am the one who owns the entry and the one that can make changes to that entry. I think it would be better for those that follow the event to make the entry because they are the ones that will know if something changes and can keep the entry up to date.

I also made a change for the Sothern calendar entry today to reflect the changed phone number that COB posted.

I changed Larry's error of the Inn name in Vestal NY for the Northeeast shoot too.

See my point, it would be better if I wasn't the one doing this because I may miss posts announcing changes.

You're right Robin - it shouldn't be your responsibility to edit the posts on the calendar for someone else's event or announcement... and it should be their responsibility to post it to the PGCA Calendar as well as post the event on the forum.

I agree, but it seems most here don't know about the calendar or how useful it can be.

I'm not bitching, I'm just trying to get the word out so it gets more entries and more eyes looking at it. It's useful, but only if it get members adding current information for other to use.

I know you're not bitching - that's not your style. :cheers:

Robin, you can take your thread down from the calendar, I added it today.

OK, done.

Thanks!:bowdown:

I have never been to this shoot but do plan on attending. Will there be rooms blocked off for use and if not, where do those that have attended recommend?

Robin, we will have rooms blocked at both the Hampton Inn and the Comfort Inn in Tunkhannock (15-20 minutes away). We will post the lodging info here and on our website and FB page as we get closer to the event. Thanks for asking.

Dates,events,etc.....Awards for every event to be given out Saturday & Sunday.

Will whomever intends to set up and manage the PGCA tables at the Northern SXS Challenge & Expo please contact me. I have the PGCA Tablecloths and the overhead banner. I will gladly ship them to you in plenty of time.
