2013 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet

[Dean Romig]

Thanks Mike, we hope everyone will be able to attend both events but realize that for various reasons for some this is not possible. Those who can will. We hope both events have full attendance and are a great success for all.

When do the tickets for the raffle gun go out? We have a check ready when they do. Apologies if the answer is somewhere else on the forum

It is important to make your hotel reservations as soon as possible. I just spoke to the hotel and more than half of the rooms are already taken and they expect the hotel to be sold out. The special price on the rooms expires on August 27.
Here is the hotel information: Hampton Inn & Suites
Rate of $104.00 per night
945 Douglas Pike (Route 7)
Smithfield, RI
401/232-9200

Please remember that the PGCA members represent only a fraction of those who will be attending the Vintagers World Side by Side Championship and visiting with all the vendors in the tents. Hotel rooms will be booked by all of the other attendees as well as all of the vendors and some late attempts at making reservations will likely be "left out in the cold" with no place to stay close-by.

Make your reservations, per Mike's instructions above, as soon as you can... I have mine!!

Last week I received my Raffle Gun tickets from Ed Morgan. Everybody who is a current Member of the PGCA should have theirs by now or will be getting them very shortly.
If you don't get yours in the next week or so, please contact Ed and he will see that you get them.

I am still waiting on mine . . .

All, We have secured an additional 10 rooms at the Hampton Inn at the PGCA special rate. Be advised that the special rate expires on September 12th. Also I would advise getting your room booked now as the hotel is almost full.

How many members attend the annual meeting?

[Dean Romig]

Generally about one-hundred or so.

Charlie,
I can only comment on the last few years but I would say the average would be around 60 members. During the years it was held at Pintail Point I believe it drew 100-120 members. Especially the year we had the Invincible’s there.
