where will the annual meeting be held?

Those who go will have stories to tell about guns they have found there. I'm running a little short of small bore hammer guns.

Dave "Only 190 miles" that's another 3 hours of drive time (seventeen hours for us) for any of us northerners plus it's in primetime bird season in most areas of the country. I hope it works out but I have my doubts. Eric

What a bunch of whiners!! I drove 2400 miles one way to the annual meeting in Louisville, Kentucky, last September and have come, flying or driving, to eight of nine The Vintage Cups since I moved west in 2002. Either say you are going to come or don't. Or, run for the board and take responsibility.

I miss the big PGCA presence Ron use to have at the winter Las Vegas show, but if someone doesn't volunteer to do it, it isn't going to happen!!

[Bill Murphy]

I agree we should have a positive attitude, but our presence at Winter Vegas some years ago was like a pea in a pot of pea soup. We made a presence at the Vintagers and at the OGCA, but not at Vegas.

It takes 20-30 nice Parkers to put up a decent display. A couple people would have to drive and haul guns, stay in hotels, pay the fees, I 'll bet it would cost a couple thousand out of their own pocket. I know we spend $500 to $700 each when we do Pheasant Fest. Sometimes when we see "the PGCA oughta do this or that", people don't realize that there is no PGCA with a gun display and somebody has to have the guns, bear the expense themselves, haul the guns and set up and man the display . I know from my own experience that people get burned out and say"enough".

[Bill Murphy]

Rick's is a wonderful venue. I'm sure everything will work out.

[Hammer Gun]

Well, I did not mean to start a rucuss just wondered where and when one other question will we be able to have a tables for display? Yes it gets old hauling guns from one venue to another but when a person that does not know what a Parker is stops and ask questions, you get a chance to tell him about the best side by side made in this country it makes it all worth while and also gets new members!

There is a nice Grade 3 20 ga. Lifter coming to auction pretty soon if you don't mind setting your float plane down onto the Kennebec.

The engine is running and landing field ready, I will, I will, need I say More!
