Neil Beverley Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hi Angus Sod the bombers! If we change our plans because of them they win. We would never have done the NI matches if we let stuff like that rule us. So ....................... Bali will be the place where we can repay the very generous arrangements that Vince set up. Although I obviously wasn't there I still much appreciate what Vince did. It not just the cost but actually the thought. Great picture by the way! Now then, Angus dissappears into the bushes. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Hi guys, Would somebody please send me a copy of the group photo to pinto@ipsc.org, because I just can't see it in this thread and I have absolutely no idea why, but I suspect it might have something to do with my industrial strength firewall. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Merricks Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Vince, Thanks again. It was a great party and sorry you missed it.I'm in the blue shirt, shades on hat, far left. You look a bit peeved in the pic Jon, did someone steal your beer???? Vince, thanks for the goodies, you rock! At least I had my eyes open I was thinking about how long I had to wait for the results.

reneet Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I obviously arrived after the photo was taken. Between checking scores and talking to lots of folks by S&W Hall, I did not see the BE crowd gathering. Once I got there, alot of folks had already taken off. Had a bottle of water and a beer and spoke with some of the forum gang. Carina and I took off before the party disbanded because we were freezing our butts off. THANKS VINCE, DENISE & ARNIE. Really nice to put faces with names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I'm on the right, in front, black shirt, smiling because I beat everyone but Jerry. As for Angus in the weeds, I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is not a pretty thing. (I know that only from rumors I heard later!)

ima45dv8 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 OK. Just about dead center is GAPEACH (STI shirt) and Mrs. SingleStack (2 blue shirts). SingleStack (Tighty Whitey) is standing just behind and between them in a green cap. I am on his left (tan shirt, black and white cap, holding up a "Pinto Beer"). Thanks again, Vince. It was a wonderful gesture and a great surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Geez, if I'd known there was going to be wings and beer, I'd have made the drive to Quincy...especially if I knew Uncle Vince was buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I'm sorry I wasn't there! Wings and beer - that's about as good as it gets. I looked into it at the last minute (Tuesday) but it just couldn't work out for me. I'm really under the gun to get the new site/store up... But I'm definitely planning on coming to the Nats next year. Where are they going to be anyway? be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carinab Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yup, as Renee said we were busy being stats nerds and missed the first half of the gathering and the photo. However, the great pity is that no one snapped a pic of MacTiger in his kilt. KDJ was asking what clan wears utility black. I think Troy's answer was the McTactical clan! We had big fun and the eats were very good. Thanks again to everyone involved in setting this up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reneet Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I actually did get a photo of Troy in his utilikilt. HE told me that someone offered cash money to see him "in action" on the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Pinto Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I hope "before World Shoot" translates to May, and not July. I have no idea about the dates, format or location of the 2005 US Nationals, but I can tell you that WSXIV in Ecuador runs from 21-27 August 2005, but there is also a "Pre-Match" (probably) from 17-20 August 2005.

Angus Hobdell Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Well put Neil. I agree totaly and I was not saying I wasn't going because of the bombings. We spent many happy hours in NI, remind me to tell you about the time I got lost in a particularly BAD area. That was an interesting ride. Thanks "Big Nose" for the cell call that got me out safely. Last time I was in Jakarta was just before the Timor riots, there was a battalion of Army camped in the hotel car park and army in the car lots of all the major buildings. Interesting time........ The range in Jakarta was fun to, the ranges had low berms and you could see the governemnt building from the range, a high shot would have broken windows...... I will not let terrorism dissuade me from anything I do now or in the futhur. Don't let the B***trds grind you down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
