Default Sharks on the Mississippi (Dubuque)

UPDATE AFTER THE EVENT:
We have T-Shirst left. L and XL. If anyone wants to purchase one, I think I have $20 in them so $20 plus say a $5.15 priority mail box will get you one should you want one.

PLAN ON BEING THERE NEXT YEAR!



The event date has been set:

PAYPAL REGISTRATION FEE OF $30 (OR PAY ON DAY OF EVENT) TO:

JSPAHN@MAC.COM

When: July 27 & 28 10am-whenever each day. We can change time to earlier if people want to

Where: Dubuque, IA at the Dubuque Shooting Society Park
http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=10...e,+IA&t=h&z=16 (pics below)

What: Meet up with your midwest 928 Owners. Share stories, show off your ride, eat, drink and shoot. Pick your order of any of those.

Shooting: If you want to shoot please bring your shotgun, pistol, rifle etc. We'll have the trap and/or sporting clays going so you can test your skill. There is a pistol area and if you want to try your skill with a 100 yard rifle shot we have a setup for that too but not at the same time as pistol/shotgun.

There will be routes laid out for some nice twisty roads with out and back photo options. There is an unofficial area where locals have been know to do some quarter mile runs but we don't condone that. https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif

Please register your intent to attend by July 1 so we can have a hard number of people attending. A T-Shirt will be provided with your registration fee of $30. Steaks and Chops will also be provided for dinner and brats for lunch.

There is a cash bar with pretty much any poison or non poisoned beverage of your choice.

Lodging is readily available but I have called the Holiday Inn Express just up the road from the Shooting Park.

http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress...ail/directions.

Rooms are held until July 5th and then the block will be released.

They have a block of 15 rooms set aside with a rate of $97.99 per night. I put it under the name 928 Owners Group. These rates are for the 26th to the 28th.

Group code if you need it is EG2.

Sorry I don't have better pictures but I was pretty busy there last night with my vodka martinis and I forgot to take them. I'll get some and post them up here later.

Hi Jeff,

I have this on my calendar and barring unforeseen circumstances I will confirm my attendance by your due date. And if I can help in any way let me know. It's great that we are going to have your GTG in Dubuque IA and also Dave Z's GTG in St. Charles IL. I hope there is a large turnout, and it will be good to meet everyone.

bump to keep current. How do we sticky this thread so it will stay up top until the event. Same for the St. Charles meet.

Jeff,

I've never done this, but I think you have to ask one of the moderators to make it a 'sticky'.

I sent Hacker a PM on Friday asking that the Dubuque and the St. Charles threads be made 'sticky' threads. I haven't heard back from him yet.

OOOOPS - Jeff just invited Barbara Boxer, the LONG time (but vertically challenged @ 4/11") senator from CA and her buddy Diane Feinstein to attend "Sharks in the Mississippi". They'll be giving LONG lectures and will have many supporters protesting at the gates!!!

perfect. I forgot to mention I have a case of 30-06 tracers I am trying to sell so if anyone wants to get them at a decent price I'll have them there.

I am NOT putting my shark in the MS river. And you can't make me.

Hope to come by and visit.

Wish you had some 7.62x54R. But, really without a range up to 800M there's no sense in my bringing my pop gun.

Depending on if I get my new wheels done by then, I might bring out a set of Cup I's that I'd be willing to let go too.

Can' wait 'til July!
