Table confirmations
are mailed out 15 days prior to the show.
Guest Passes - We always recemmend that you mail in your guest pass registration forms to the Business Office. However, members can also fill one out at the meeting. Remember that both the sponsor and the guest have to sign them. If not signed, we will either send them back for signatures or hold them for you to sign in person (depending on how close we are to the show). Avoid this delay by remembering to sign them. Advance Guest Passesare those that have been received by the business office less than 2 weeks prior to the meeting and are processed and held for pick up at the Information Desk. (Do not go to the Guest Pass Desk if you mailed them in.)
Badges - Remember also that everyone who comes to the meeting has to have a badge no matter how young or old they are. Spouses and children receive free badges at the time of the member’s renewal each year once they register in person. If your family members don’t have badges, go with them to the Family Services table. They must be with you.
Tableholders: Remember to sign the back of your table application. Avoid delay and disappointment! Also, remember—don’t rent tables unless you can maintain them for the scheduled meeting hours.
Applications for membership—may be returned only at the show. Applicants need two members to sponsor them. One of the sponsors has to accompany them to the application desk, but both have to sign.
To avoid the last minute rush before the meeting, please get all items in early this includes: dues, guest passes and table applications. The sooner you get these items in, the sooner the office can get them back to you.

Please note that Walkie-Talkies are not permitted at meetings due to the interference with our security system. We regret the inconvenience.



Michigan Junior Pistol Team Requests Your Help in Recovering Stolen Equipment

The Ottawa (MI) Sportsmen's Club Junior Pistol Team were on their way back home to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan after spending a week at the National Pistol Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. After staying overnight at the Comfort Inn in Ann Arbor (actually Pittsfield, MI) coach Ron Granroth awoke and stepped outside to discover that his VAN WAS GONE!!! In the van was nearly all of thier equipment for our stay at Camp Perry, INCLUDING their guns!! YES, THE CAR WAS LOCKED and PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL!!

To make a long story short, the police apprehended 3 suspects in his van later in the day, but of course the guns were gone (and replaced by crack cocaine). In addition to the team guns and equipment, he was delivering 11 guns to "The Northwoods Trading Post" in Hancock Michigan including 2 new Springfield Trophy Match pistols and a Springfield XD that I had purchased for the team.

The next page is a list of all of the guns that were stolen and their descriptions and serial numbers. Please spread the word about these guns throughout the Shooting Community, gun shows, and law enforcement agencies. The Pittsfield, MI Police Dep't. phone is (734) 944-4911, report number 06.7274. Ron Granroth, Coach, Ottawa Sportsmen's Club Junior Pistol Team can also be reached at (906) 523-4320

They would certainly appreciate any help that can be rendered in the recovery of these guns. Essentially we can't have a junior team without them!!!!
