Default 2020 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet April 24th

The 2020 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet will be held in conjunction with the 21st Annual Spring Southern Side-by-Side Classic April 23-26, 2020 (Thursday to Sunday), at Deep River Sporting Clays.

Join us Friday April 24th at Carolina Trace Country Club in Sanford, at 2100 Country Club Drive. The location is very close to the Southern SXS and our PGCA hotel. Those of you that attended the 2019 foundation dinner have experienced the high standard of service Carolina Trace provides and would surely attest this to fellow members.

Tickets are only $75 which includes dinner and hors d'oeuvres. The evening will include a Silent Auction, themed Parker gun display with People’s Choice awards, a special Guest Speaker, the Raffle Gun drawing, and a ‘State of the Organization’ address by our President, Tom Wooden. The doors will open at 5:00 pm with dinner at 6:00 pm. Stay tuned for the display theme and banquet menu. Thank Mike Franzen for all the hard work on this event!

For event ticket(s) send a check made out to the PGCA addressed to Brian Hornacek with your return address noted.

How does a Virginia gentleman normally dress for a nice occasion ? Wear shoes.

Again, the words of a famous female Briton whose son was an avid hammer-gun shooter:

"Dress..[is] the one outward sign from which people in general judge upon the internal state of mind and feeling of a person...."

V.R. (1819-1901),

I think business casual or sport coat and tie is fine but shorts, T shirt, sandals and shooting vest is a no no.

Think the last time I wore a shooting vest was thirtyfive years ago , I’m more of the belt/shell pouch type guy , but the t shirt shorts and sandles are right on time

Well thirty years ago I would have said just shy of “black tie” , but this isn’t thirty years ago and I’m not as worried about playing the part as I was then .

If Randy Roberts didn't have to wear a coat and tie to last year's banquet at Carolina Trace, neither do I!!!!!!! I can bring a brand new pair of moccasins, clean cargo shorts and a new Parker polo shirt. How's that? I wore a jacket and tie last year, two years in a row is unheard of!!

How rude! You have obviously forgotten that beautiful Parker blue tie that I wore last year. I specifically remember you commenting on how nice it looked and even going so far as to inquire as to where you might buy one for yourself. To much bubbly most likely.

That was one natty tie brother!! Went well with the vest. It was a fun evening and it’ll be another good one this year. Let’s pick a table where we can heckle Chuck Bishop.
