Hello Instructors!!!

I hope that you are as excited as Dinky and me for the upcoming Athens, OH IBC on Feb 13-14-15.  It will be great to have everyone in one setting working together to improve the presentation skills that will save this country!

Since we are already needing to stretch capacity and we're still a month out, I need you to complete a few item below.


1) You must PM me that you are attending ASAP so we can get an accurate headcount.


2) In that PM, you must tell me where you plan to sleep.  If you have a cold weather sleeping bag, you can pitch a tent near me in the section reserved for Real Riflemen outside!   >:D   Otherwise, let me know if you require floor space in the clubhouse or if you have other arrangements.


3) Send a PM to Nurse Ratchett with a food dish, drinks, plastic plates/silverware, etc that you can bring to share with everyone.  We will need breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and maybe a cookie or two, Ishy)  O0 for 20+ people.


4) Print out the current Instructor Manual that is attached to this post and bring that along with a notebook, pen, and a sense of humor that will help us enjoy three full days of learning amongst our fellow Instructors.


Thanks very much and I can't wait to see you there!!!

Meanstreaker,

I know coming off that huge IL IBC you want to get the numbers up but, listing Fuzzy Math twice falls into a "grey area"  ;D   **)

G69 and I are trying to arrange getting down there for Sat. or Sun.    I'm trying to get G69 to give me a lift down there.  Ohhhhh, wait, maybe I'll drive  ^-^  Ol' red was lookin a bit tired this weekend.  Can't tell my truck Garand will be riding in it just yet......y'all know what happened last time he tried that  :'(

I'll advise when more gets finalized.  A big thanks to you and Dinky for making the trip.  Made for a much smoother IBC!!   O0  Interstate teamwork is such a blessing to this organization.

Illinois tips it's hat to all the "interlopers" that helped make our IBC a success!!  :bow:   :bow:
Do not fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have war......Let it start here.

Just when I thought I couldn't get any more excited, you go and say something like that.

It would be an honor to have you guys with us.

Hello Ohio Appleseed!!

Just a reminder to those Ohio Brethren attending that if you haven' t PMed me regarding food to please do so soon. You should have received a PM with the weekend' s menu, if you haven' t let me know. I would like to have a concrete list so I will know where fill-ins are still needed by Feb 1. Right now we are planning on food for 50 in order to have enough vittles for everyone---as you can see above 32 have committed. I know we will have approx 10 helpers, so we may have to up our count at some point. I will let everyone know if that is the case.

Can't wait to see and meet everyone--it is just a few weeks away!!! Get pumped it is gonna be great ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

In His Grip,
Ratchett

What should be brought? I've got food on the shopping list for next week. Current Instructor Manual is downloaded, just need to print it. Rifles (AR and 10/22) are ready to go. Not sure how much ammo.

Clipboard?
Plenty of notebooks for taking notes.
Pens.
Camping gear and extra blankets, at least it should be warmer than this weekend's camping trip. 9.5 when we woke up on Sunday. Brrrrrrr

WY_Not, please PM Nurse Ratchett in regards to food.  She'll let you know the drill.  Other than that, you sound very squared away!  Just so you know, there will be no shooting at the IBC, just three full days of learning together.  If we finish early, there *may* be a chance for burning powder, but it's not likely.

Already squared away with Nurse Ratchett.

Anything else besides Instructor Manual recommended for downloading and printing to bring along? Been browsing through the instructor area and reading what I can. Sheesh and you guys say Appleseeds are like drinking from a firehose, that section is like drinking from Niagra Falls!

No shooting? :o

in regards to food?  Always good to bring some emergency rations.  We all keep those in the trunk, right? :) 

But I believe Nurse Ratchett is working it out to where we get three squares on Sat and Sun and at least 2 on Monday.

If anyone wants to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, etc, I know the club would appreciate it.  We'll also be passing the hat for a few bucks for everyone to throw in if they want to benefit the club for the immense generosity.

Tossing some money in the hat is a given for me when I get down there. Besides their generosity hosting Appleseeds, I've sent two kids down their for their Camp Heritage so far and both had a great time, learned a lot, and got their Hunter Safety Certification with flying colors.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "little"... $$-0 If I could there would be three more kids and another two adults. :o And it would be really, really fun to meet my friends on the other side of the nation. 8)

Either way with this weather it looks like those of us camping will be sleeping on the snow  ^:)^ I love sleeping in the snow, its quieter and always so bright out at night. Looking at the forecast it looks like the zero degree bag will be in order as well. Yep we appleseeders are a crazy folk  O0

And as Ishy said, you guys are crazy! I'll be in the "Appleseed Hotel" because it's cold outside. Or, if it's warm. Or if there's 'skeeters. Or, if... well, I'll pretty much be in the Appleseed Hotel as long as there's a spot for me. See you guys soon!

We're only a couple days away!  :~  :~   Looking forward to seeing everyone.

A few items to prepare:

1) Please be ready for Instruction to begin at 8AM each day.  Breakfast and everything else should be taken care of before then.

2) Please bring cold weather clothes, boots, etc with you.  Due to the size of the IBC, we will be having some activities outside so there is room for us all to practice the lessons.  Also, if some of you could throw in a shooting mat, that would be helpful.

3) There is an updated version of the Instructor Manual that I didn't know about.  I updated the attachment in the IBC thread in the Ohio section.  Please make sure you study up on that in the next few days so you arrive being familiar with the material.

4) If you haven't PM'd Nurse Ratchett to get squared away with food plans her and the other incredible Athens volunteers are preparing... please do so now.

5) If you don't see your name on the attendance list or the list of where you're sleeping at the beginning of this thread, please PM me and let me know.  Also, if you know of others that are attending that are not on the list, please tell them to PM me so I know and we can plan.

6) Don't forget a notebook and pens/pencils!

Thanks everyone!  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.  I'll be arriving Fri evening some time.

Later,
--Mike
