Dave
Is the price of the ticket $65?
David

David, I neglected to mention that. Thank you for bringing that up.

Ticket prices are $65.00 each

David will we have a tent as in past meetings and are tables available for display? Gary

Dave, at what point does the ticket price go up to $85? Last day of September seems to ring a bell...

Look on the PGCA events web page, I think all the info can be found there.

Thank You Robin!

I talked to Rick Hemingway last week and they are providing PGCA with our own tent. They have also agreed to let Tom Carter put his camper next to it as a hospitality center- Rick is Good People
David Dwyer

Dave is the man. I hope he knows what a PGCA hospitality vehicle is expected to provide.

Bill
Actually Tom Carter is the Man! This was his doing,spent some good money getting the camper as new, and I would not be surprised if there were some appropriate refreshments aboard. Tom also just got in the trophy's for the Parker Champion shoot and wait to you see the engraving on that!! The BOD is going all out to make this the best annual meeting yet. Y'all come on down!!!
David

Gary
Contact Josh to reserve a table. I have reserved an RV space for you .

An RV space for Gary may tax Rick Hemingway's 15,000 acres. Tom, apologies for giving Dave credit for the hospitality vehicle.

Gents

I live one hour from Back Woods and I know Rich Hemingway. Plus I'm a member there.
It's a great place and have shot there many times. I plan on being there for the annual meeting. Bring your gun and shoot SC, 5 stand or hunt it's a great place.

Hospitality Camper
 

Mr. Bill, Thank you but not necessary. Cheers, Tom

I cant wait for the meeting. I need to get my check in the mail to Dave Suponski for my banquet tickets!

Me too Josh.

Word to the wise, I called the 800 number to the Quality Inn and they said our block was sold out and there were only 3 rooms left starting at $89.99. We booked at the Jameson Inn next door and saved a few bucks.

I'll be there.....for the first annual meeting of the U.P. Grouse Hunters Benevolent Society located in Channing, MI on 6th street. Bird season isn't any better than the end of October.:rotf:

Mills
I just talked to the manager,Brandy, at Quality Inn, Georgetown SC, 843-546-5656
They have plenty of rooms available at $61.99. I would switch if I was you. I inspected the other motel and ......
David

Thanks David. I will try the local number.

Quality Inn
 

Mills
Thanks. I talked to Brandy again and you MUST call the motel directly,843-546-5656 to get the $61.99 rate
David

Thanks. The person I talked to on the 800 number was "not from around these parts"

Just to carify things....The annual meeting and banquet will be at the Quality Inn, Georgetown SC

Just a reminder.....Today is September 15th Banquet ticket sales end on October 15th. If you have intentions of attending please do not delay....:)

Well, I took a trip down to Ricks Back Woods Quail facility Thursday to see if I could get My Motorhome in to the spaces. Was I surprised, Fantastic place plenty of room and it has to be one of the premiere shooting facilites in the South. It is 18 miles to Georgetown, short drive, I was able to take a tour and was impressed! Rick says they are hosting something almost every week. I think every one will be pleased, Gary

I joined the PGCA at the side by side show there last year. Looking forward to going back this year.

Gents, Today is October 4th ticket sales end on the 15th! Please do not delay if you have intentions of attending this wonderful event.

As Gary found out when he inquired about space to park his enormous motor home, Rick could park several 757s and still have room for 10,000 cars. This isn't the Spring Southern.

Bill
I think Backwoods is one ,if not the finest, SC course in the country!! If you like to shoot this is the place.
David

Backwoods
 

Mr. Bill, You are absolutely correct! Cheers, Tom

Alright, nothing like waiting to the last minute, but I booked my rooms tonight and will see you all in Georgetown. I was still able to get in at the Quality Inn under the parker rate, so if you haven't booked yet, it's not too late.

When do the festivities start? is everyone going down on Thursday or Friday?

Dave, I'll be mailing you a check tomorrow for my banquet ticket, so please save me a seat. Dean, Larry, I'll just ask that you guys don't bring me the check for THIS dinner.:shock:

Mike

Mike, were you able to get a non-smoking or a smoking room?

I had a significant amount of trouble getting a non-smoking room just a few days ago.

Hey Dean,

I called and talked to "Benny" tonight, and she was very helpful. Called the main number as others suggested in this post. She looked up the PGCA room block and confirmed that she still had rooms available at the $62 rate. She asked me for smoking or non, and I chose non-smoking. There didn't seem to be any issues. It's a single room with two double beds. One for me, and one for my DHE. :D

Mike

Well, I will not be taking the 747 down all my boys backed out and it is foolish to drive the bus down with just me in it. So, I booked a room, courtesy of Tom Carter, at the Quality Tuesday all they had left were smoking rooms, so they are fast running out of rooms! By the way I asked if the room reeked of cigarette smoke, the lady said she did not think so, the gentleman that had the room prior to me was named Bill something and he had a box of cigars and two women with him, go figure! Gary

Sorry I am going to miss the fun, but to choose between being in the woods shooting real birds (if I ever see one) to shooting clays, well I guess you know what I will decide... You guys have fun

Eric, I'll be taking a short bank of manual pigeon traps and a cage of birds from our October shoot. Come on down.

Thanks for the offer Bill but I am already booked up. Hopefully I'll see all of you at the Southern

Gary did your buddies decide to go bird hunting instead??? Sorry I just couldn't resist:rotf:

I have a spare room with two twin beds and kennel space at camp. I'll be there, you can too.

No, They are bidding on some jobs and in todays economy, this take precedent. Megan, would like to go but we can not leave our 14year old lab, as she is quickly approaching the rainbow bridge, and can not travel! So she will stay in V.A. till the time comes! Gary

Open day, COB; How you like the weather up there?

I got rained out this weekend but did accomplish a nice piece of business in Negaunee on the way.

I'll be in north central Michigan next weekend and then back to the U.P. the following weekend.
