Thanks Fred.

In the ANNOUNCEMENTS column in each and every issue of Parker Pages I clearly state: "Please Note that Parker Pages is now reciprocating with the L. C. Smith Collectors Association, the German Gun Collectors Association and the A. H. Fox Collectors Association to announce events of common interest." Incidentally, I rarely, if ever, get anything from these organizations to include in the Announcements column.

The Announcements column doesn't begin and end with the organizations I have listed - anyone who organizes or knows the details of any event that PGCA members would be interested in knowing about should be sending me the particulars so I can get them into the very next issue of Parker Pages. I would if I could but I simply don't have the time or energy to go soliciting for events to announce and sincerely hope that others do and will forward information to me.

Again, Thanks for your interest Fred - I'm glad you brought it up.

Best, Dean

Yes, and there is also an events calendar on the top of this page too. It is a good place to enter events because it doesn't get lost over time like a thread entry tends to do. The only problem is that I suspect not may notice it exists and even less use it?

Thanks Robin. I just added an event for January 18, 2014

Speaking of small doublegun shoots. The NYD shoot at MWSA has always been pretty much run what you brung. All old doubleguns are interesting. The doublegun shoots do get some interest and attention from non double gun shooters. Tim Day and Glenn Watts come to mind, Tim stopped by, shot a round and visited and then headed over to the rifle range. Glenn shot his new SBT and pulled targets for us on the protection. Four or Five years ago Glenn didn't own a Parker, now he has several and is talking about getting a 10ga. Both of them became curious about doubleguns from "our" activitities, so these shoots can grow new double gun aficionados.

I also found out why we had a group of the regular die hard trap shooters join us in the morning and then leave. The trap shooting club in North Hampton NH has held a NYD fun shoot for as long as I can remember, 30 years or more. That club unfortunately was recently told to cease and desist their shooting by the NH Dept. of Environmental Services because lead shot was being deposited in wetlands. This is the second club in the nearby area to suffer this fate, Exeter NH being the other. It's the the third if the skeet field in Farmington remains compromised with unusable stations because of the same problem. The loss of farms and shooting clubs has been the sportsmans fate for the last 30 years in this area, sad.
