Volunteer’s Thread for PGCA display booth/tables at Hausemann’s (Vintagers)
 

I would like to hear from any PGCA Members who are interested in coordinating a loose schedule to man the PGCA gun display table at Hausemann’s in September 2019. My understanding is that, thus far, we have (4) table cloths and one wall banner received at Hausemann’s, but no identified crew to man the display table.

I am not looking to be the leader of this, having never been involved in gun displays before; but I do wish to hear from others who are willing to contribute, so a plan can be put in place.

I suggest for these discussions we communicate via email, and not on this Thread or by Private Message on this Forum. Mine is skipjack93@yahoo.com.

I also ask that others who have done this before, especially Members from other regions who will not be a part of this, pass on some advice as to how one of these display projects can avoid pitfalls and be best executed.

Thank you,

Russell Cleary

Harry and I will be around late Friday and Saturday and we will help out.

I'll be there sometime Thursday morning and if the tables and banner haven't been set up when I arrive, I'll take care of it. I'll bring along a 7 gun rack. I'll have some cable ties or spring clamps to hang the banner. I don't think we'll have a problem manning the tables. With the distance to parking, I expect we'll all be gathered around the tables most of the time, in fact, it might get crowded.

No worries, Russell. If you're at all confounded, simply take a gander at the Concours d'Elegance that will be emanating from your A.H. Fox brethren who I'm happy to report will be to your immediate left (or right) this year!! (Three days with the Tool Man, Your Eminence!!) Our showman of showmen, the esteemed "P.T. Barnum McCormack" is planning on showcasing some of "Philadelphia's Phinest!!" Looking forward to breaking bread (and as always, a few walnuts) with our friends from Cherry St.!! :corn::rotf::

Members:

Progress is being made on this and communications continue to be mainly via email.

So far, no theme for guns to be displayed has emerged, and only a couple of guns have been proposed for the three tables. Maybe caprice will be the prevailing non-policy and will eventually work out OK.

One seven gun-capacity rack has been committed for one of the three tables, thus far.

REC

I have a 7-gun rack I will loan and if Russell and I can get together before the event maybe he has room enough to take it with him - I won't be arriving until Friday afternoon.

I also have a few extra copies of back issues of Parker Pages that can be put on the tables for non-members to peruse or if they'd like to take a copy with them for websites and contacts found in it... and to sample the fine articles within.

A big thanks to Russell for taking the lead on this!

It should be a great time and I hope to see a bunch of you all there. Now is the time to order your tickets for the annual meeting if you have not done so

What Mills said +1 !!!!






.

Mills,
Will the Raffle Gun be there as well as tickets for sale?

I sure hope so, it is our last chance before the AM to sell tickets.





.

I am not sure, but I hope so. Ed Morgan is the one to ask about that.

We are working on a golf cart for PGCA members to help ferry people from the parking lot to the tents and back. Don't let the parking arrangement discourage you from coming

Thanks to Chuck Bishop for bringing it up and assisting with arrangements!

Hey thanks Chuck!





.

FYI, the raffle gun is in the area. Jeff brought it along when he came to the Rock Mountain Northern SxS Challenge. I am also bringing the Smith-Parker Cups along. LCS can keep their 2 cups and take them to the Southern and PGCA can keep theirs and take it to the Southern. All 3 cups will be delivered to the respective tables on Thursday AM unless someone comes by here first and picks them up.

The big Challenge Trophy should be there too

The PGCA's 4 man cart has been rented for the weekend. It's not to be used for shooting, it's to be used by members who need transportation to and from the display tent.

Here we go.... The usual “Ladies of Meriden” taunting should start any day now...

Tool Man, you look good driving that rig. I'm sure you have a licence, right? This back and forth banter will go on till the shoot is over!

Losing Association President must chauffer the winning team around the course shooting the Main event. I hope Tool has a chauffer's cap!! :corn:

Just no memes with Steve in drag, please.

THE NEW CHAUFFER.....

We can find one for Tool... and will it ever fit!





.

Why not???

I have a REALLY good one of Steve.

I don't care, that's pretty funny right there! Good job Mike but watch your back:shock::rotf:

I’m not afraid Chuck. That was just a quick throw together.

Come now Dean, the esteemed men of N. 18th St. would never stoop to such depths. (Incidentally, I believe it was "Matrons") :whistle:

Benedict Arnold! ���� Not much shooting on the Philly side of things. More like a “Free Agent”.
