!!! March 12-14, 2011 - Gibsonburg, OH Instructor Boot Camp !!!

[MeanStreaker]

    Announcing the Inaugural Gibsonburg IBC

Thank you to the Sandusky County Sportsmans Club for generously hosting an IBC on March 12-14!





An IBC is a great mechanism for all current Instructors to come together, refine our understanding of the Appleseed material, shake off any winter rust, improve how we each teach the lessons to our students, get a better understanding of Known Distance, learn rifle familiarization with many different platforms, and much more!  This is really the way to get a leg up and move up that Instructor ladder!  Which we really need to meet our 2011 goals.  Bring a pen, notebook, and a good sense of humor!  An IBC consists of three full days of classroom learning... but it's also an event not to be missed for enjoying the company of your fellow teammates and recharging your batteries with camaraderie to gear up for the 2011 Appleseed season.  


You'll have all the creature comforts of home and experience some of the best Trail hospitality found anywhere.  There are modern restrooms and Lisa and her team have graciously agreed to provide their top-notch culinary skills!!!    

Saturday breakfast/lunch/dinner, Sunday breakfast/lunch/dinner, and Monday breakfast/lunch..... all of that for whatever you are able to donate!

You can roll out a sleeping mat in the clubhouse on a first come, first served basis (see below).  Otherwise, this is a great opportunity to test out your (semi) cold weather Rifleman gear and sleep outside.  Please keep in mind there will be many in the clubhouse and perhaps their bedtimes may differ from yours.  



Hopefully all Ohio Instructors and teammates from our neighboring states will join us on March 12-14.  The Event Information Page with directions and more can be found Here.  (If by chance you can't make it, please try to attend the Athens IBC on Feb 19-21.)


To Register:

1) Please PM MeanStreaker to reserve your spot.  If staying on site, let me know if you will be sleeping inside or outside the clubhouse.  The club has requested this information ahead of time, so we really need to know.

2) Please PM Lisa to RSVP either way if you will be partaking in the meals.

3) Please sign up via the Eventbrite registration page: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1213931903


Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll see you there!

Thanks!

This is going to be AWESOME !!!! Have a nice menu planned also  So let's fill up our clubhouse with this IBC, then we can fill the lines for the shoots.

[MeanStreaker]

Bump!  Who else is getting excited?!?! 

[Lisa]

I am and the menu is nice  .  I have only had a few replies for who is staying in the club house and eating the meals. I need to know so we know how much food needs to be prepared!!!

[Lisa]

BTT............. Ok all to date we have 20 people who have contacted me about either staying at the clubhouse or not and the meals. We are getting close here just a couple of weeks away now. There is plenty of sleeping room IN the club house. Plus we have a nice menu that The Kitchen Committee has put together for this IBC.

SCSC has pop for $1 a can that will be available, there are also chips, peanuts, slim jims, peanuts, and candy bars that are anywhere from .25 - .75 each. coffee will be with meals and after meals a donation.

There will however be water available all day, unless you want bottled water then it is $1 each. There will also be either Tang or Lemonaide to drink, we have not decided on what one yet.

Yes Slim, CHOCOLATE will be here...............

[Lisa]

BTT - Who is counting the days? Who is getting excited? We still have pleanty of space !! And remember this will help get you back into the spin for the season. April is just around the corner and you want to be top notch for the BIG shoot in April don't you? We haven't heard from a lot of you. This is the last IBC scheduled in Ohio before the Big Shoot in April. Let's get it together !!! We are on a roll here, lets not stop that roll

[Lisa]

Ok......... Who wants a peek at the menu?
Who is getting excited about this?
Who hasn't signed up that is coming?
Well, I know there is still a lot of our Ohio crew that hasn't signed up yet, what's wrong with that? We have Mi and Il and some of out Ohio crew, where's the rest of everybody at?
Who is arriving on Fri night? What time are you arriving, so we can be sure there is a club member there to let you in the gate? I have only gotten an arrival time from RNE and his family at this point.
If anybody needs to put insulin in a fridge let me know when you get here and PLEASE have your name on it as mine will be there also and we don't want to mix it up.
DangerousD- no problem with what you assumed, just talk to me only about it!! That is taken care of.
I am still waiting on confirmation about the optional service for Sunday morning, if our normal person can not do it, do I have a volunteer to do it, as my back up person has not gotten back with me either?
See everybody in a few days............

Lisa:
Thanks to you and your "crew" at GBurg.  The facilities were wonderful, and the food spectacular, as always.  We appreciate the planning, hard work, and behind the scenes logistics that went into the success of the event.

We look forward to seeing you folks again (several times!) this year at future AS events.

To the board and members of SCSC, 
THANK YOU for opening your range and club house to Ohio Appleseeders and 'seedeers from neighboring states. Your hospitality is second to none and greatly appreciated. We were able to have the best IBC and accomplished much toward the fight of liberty.

Gene, thank you for the Sunday morning service, it opened many avenues of discussion during our history session, very thought provoking!
 
Sue, Becky, and Mary, thank you for all your hard work in the kitchen and helping keep us well fed.

Lisa, Troy, and Ryan, what can I say--- you guys are amazing. Thank you for all your hard work in setting this in motion and making it happen. Thank you for all the meal planning,cooking---definitely no easy task, the food was delicious! I greatly appreciate everything you do. I am only sorry this was the first time I was able to make it to Gibsonburg, promise it will not be the last.

In His Grip,
Ratchett (AKA Julia)
