It's the whole weekend, setting up and manning tables at the shooting grounds, doing registration and memberships, and awards, etc. The planning and work for this event starts right after the Spring Southern SxS in late April.

The only reason we had not tried this before was we are often times "too few" trying to do "too much" and even the thought of a new project meets with resistance. It's not because it's not a good idea but it's finding more people willing to pitch in. The other reason, which I guess I didn't stress enough in my last post, is that the auction is first and foremost a "Benefit" to those attending the meeting. We hope that this year being the 20th Anniversary of the PGCA we will be blessed with great weather, great shooting, and a great Banquet. I hope all who attend have a great time and that those who have never been to one of these events will give it a try in the future.

Yes Larry I do know how much trouble all of you guys go through to put on one of these meetings. This idea was something that has been mentioned to me by a few members so I thought I would pass it on to you. Sorry I will not be able to attend this year, I will certainly miss seeing all of you. Eric
