The meet and greet at the Giraffe Bar is good fun, no doubt.

However, would anyone be interested in trying set up an AR dinner for one night during SCI like is done in Dallas during DSC?

Thoughts?

COunt me in Will. I just found out I won't be at DSC- going on a cougar/lynx hunt with conflicting dates- so I am definitely in for a dinner in Reno...

I'll probably be in Reno this year, have a conflict with Dallas, so I'd be interested.

What are the Reno dates this year, yes I know I can google it and find it but,, this is easy just to ask. I saw a Tim Hearld on a hunting show in Africa this past week,, is that you? from kentucky?

drwes...if it was shooting a springbok, it was me...if it wasn't shooting a springbok, it was probably still me . I don't think anyone else in their right mind would want to use my name and be mistaken for someone with my accent!

Jan 26 - 29.

I am just surprised that someone on this website hasn't already mentioned it. I was pretty sure it was you,, accent and all! I am in no position to talk about accents,,,I sound about as much as a bubba gump as anyone. I did enjoy watching the program,, I watch so many channels I couldn't remember which show it was on,,,There are other shows beside TAA and I gues since you shot all by yourself there was no controversy! good job

Thursday or Friday night would be good for me.

Anybody think about Wednesday night? Don't most of us fly in Tuesday or Wednesday so there are fewer people on the floor the first day of the show? I like to get out late Friday to avoid the crowds at the airport as well.

Works for me.

Tim are you sure someone didn't back you up on that springbok?

Wednesday night would be great if someone could organise it. I will buy a beer for everyone attending...

I am planning on attending. Any night would be good for me. Matt, instead of buying every one who attends a beer. Bring some of that good Australian Beer!

B acked myself up when he got up stumbling when we were 100 yards closer...I definitely got "backed up" on the rest of that trip though and it had nothing to do with shooting!

Wednesday or Thursday would be my preferred days as well. Like to catch a flight home on Friday night......

Mac

Wednesday or Thursday works for me. I'm back in town visiting family, as well as attending the convention.

+1 for Matt bringing good Australian beer.

Don

I'm thinking of going this year. If we make it count us in!

Going once . . .

I am in...look forward to it! I usually go to the Presidents Cocktail party on Friday...member of the Quarter Century Club...ie old farts society!!

I'm in for sure if the dinner is Wed, Thur or Fri. I am outta there Sat morning.

In for Wednesday or Thursday.

I'm also a Quarter Century member, but will be flying out on Friday. Wednesday would be best for me.

I am in...fly in day show opens and out the day it ends.
In the Tuffpak booth as usual.

Sounds like we're in for Wednesday night. Question now is where we goin'? Anybody living near Reno who could coordinate the gig?

hell, i have been a member for over 25 years- what is the quarter century club?

I attended an AR dinner a couple of years ago that was put on at the Claim Jumper, almost directly across the street from the Convention Center. Worked out pretty well...lots of food as usual! They set up a long banquet type table in a semi-private area, I recall about 20+ attended??
The Quarter Century Society is simply a recognition of long term SCI members of 25 contiguous years or more, no breaks in membership. Call Eva Wilson at Tucson for membership details and application, which is a bio and photograph. So far they have only had gatherings at the Presidents Cocktail Reception at the Convention each year...about 5-6 years old...AND you get a 50cent sized pin to wear...you know SCI style!! She published a rooster in 2008...PM me and I can forward by e-mail if you would like to see it.

Then lets go somewhere that serves good Aussie beer!! ....not Fosters.....

Outback Steakhouse??

Bit hard to carry a carton of beer with me all around the USA before Reno!! maybe I could order some in??

just fly in to Boise, and leave it with me. I will make sure it gets there.

Rich

Concensus of the date, locale, and who'll be attending?

i will be there for the whole thing so anytime/any place will work!

College keeps me strapped for money and time, but I am trying to convince another man to go with me to the DSC. I want to fly out and see it first hand!

rhromm - FWIW this thread is talking about dinner at SCI Reno not DSC in Dallas. If you go to Dallas you will miss the dinner in Reno??

I'll be in Reno all four days plus Tuesday evening so the choice is up to others.
