This a a warning to all WHO WILL NOT BE THERE.  This is going to be the IBC people will talk about for years,  almost like the rough IBC at Funfallers.   We will work our butts off into the late hours, we will have fun doing it.(believe me I know) and IF EVERYONE WORKS AS HARD AS I WILL,  we will  do a full distance AQT on Sunday.  The IIT's will run it and the RH's will shoot ..:..  This will be your chance as an IIT to really give it to the RH's and Me.  God, I cant wait for this weekend.  There will be sessions on how to run a shoot, what you should do to be a great SB,  and of course all the clear and concise basics of how to instruct.

Well Trisha, its not really a cabin.  Its a big, spacious farm house, with a great room addition.  I think there is 37 beds ^:)^ ^:)^  And a 400 yrd range.  Room for all the IIT's from the greater midwest.  Not to mention all the super Red Hats who are already signed up.  I think we might even have Stimey, from NC show up.  Ohh the beauty of Appleseeds.

What to bring for the "potluck"?  No reply from the email address in the info for Bowler IBC.

I make a mean "Weenie Water soup". :o

well it's always good to bring drinks, such as water, gatorade, soda. Food that people can snack on or something that can be part of the meals. I have been to one where people bring spaghetti, chili, soup, food that is easy to make in large quantities. Any kind of breakfast food would be helpful too. I hope that helps. I didn't really narrow anything down, but I wanted to give you at least an idea of what people make/bring to IBCs.

Thanks. Is there a BBQ grill available?

Thinking about bringing a pig to roast??? ^:)^

Naw....piglet. O0 A pig would take more than a grille.

Hi All -

I can count two IL Border raiders (DOM and I), maybe two more (I'm trying to get some of our IL brethren up there)!

Certainly my idea of a great way to spend father's day...400 yards!  ^:)^ ^:)^

DOM and I will see you Friday!  O0

What brings together men liberated from local and national limitations is also what keeps them apart. What pushes for greater rationality is also what nourishes the irrationality of hierarchical exploitation and repression.  What creates society's abstract power also creates its concrete unfreedom.

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, but DOM and I will not be attending.

Something has come up, and we cannot make the trip.  >:(

Have fun for us!
