NOTICE: Fort management has requested we move our meeting date to January 24.

2015 would have been our 6th annual "Gathering” at Ft. Boonesborough, but the weather and electrical problems at the Fort last winter prevented our meeting. But, we are all set for this year, so mark your calendar!

The management at Ft. Boonesborough State Park has agreed to let us use the Blockhouse again this year for an ALR get-together. We will be meeting on Saturday, January 31 24 , from 9am to 4pm, with a break for lunch, probably at Hall's on the River.

All ALR members and anyone that's interested in the study, building, shooting, etc. of long rifles, horns, bags, knives, etc. is welcome. Please bring works in progress, recently completed pieces, items for sale or trade. There is no admission fee, but we will accept donations to the Ft. Boonesborough Foundation.

In past years we've had from 10 to 15 attendees, but we can accommodate more, and we always have a great time, so please come and join us. We usually try to have some tutorials lined up, so if anyone has any tips or how-to's they would be willing to pass along, please let me know.

I'd like to get a rough head count, so I can let the Fort know how many tables and chairs we need, so please let me know if you think you will be attending.

I'll be looking forward to seeing y'all again.

-Ron

Ron,

I'm afraid I'll be working that weekend, so I won't be able to make it.

Sorry to hear that Jeff. Maybe you can negotiate a swap with someone? I wanted to see that Woodbury gun you're working on. Is it finished yet?

Wade and Hessian,

It's a long haul from Tennessee, but we'd enjoy having you join us.

Ron--
Put me down as a definite "maybe".

Gary Tucker · « **Reply #13 on:** December 16, 2014, 03:56:58 PM »

I'll try my best to be there. Always a great time. Hall's on the River has a new owner so we'll have to check that out.

Ky-Flinter · « **Reply #14 on:** December 16, 2014, 07:48:41 PM »

This is shaping up to be a good turnout.

Wayne,
I can't wait to see the dead guy in the coffin patchbox, in person.

Charlie,
Hope you can make it. At least it's not the same weekend as the Linton Fair this year!

Gary,
Thanks for the heads up on Hall's. I'll check with them and other area options.

-Ron

This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll try to make it.

Since I can practically see the fort from my house, no excuse for me not to come. Got it on my calendar.

Looking forward to it. I'm working the sugar tree from $#*! right now. It laughs at my brand new #49. Dust is all I can get. I will look like a body builder by then. Do you want to do your rasp shoot out then

B. Hey · « **Reply #21 on:** December 24, 2014, 02:29:44 AM »

Unless I'm called Home, I'll be there. Need any help, please let me know. Any suggestion(s) on where to stay? Coming in from TN. Take care ... Bill Hey

It sure will be great to see everyone, new friends and ~~old~~ long-time friends.

Wayne,
We could definitely do a rasp "shoot-out". I have a set of the US Nicholson 49 and 50, and also a flat and round MicroPlane that I just got and haven't used yet. So, everyone bring your favorite rasp and we'll all try them out!

Bill,
Thanks for the offer, but no help needed. It's just a small, laid back affair. What makes it cool is the stuff people bring for show and tell. The Fort manager will have tables and chairs set up for us.

The Fort is a few miles off I-75 between Lexington and Richmond, but there's no lodging right at the fort. Coming up I-75 from the south, Richmond has several motels. And Lexington has a bunch too. Richmond is about 12 miles south of the Fort. Southeast Lexington is about 16 miles north of the fort.

NOTICE: The Fort manager just learned that he will have to be out of town on Jan. 31, so he has requested we move our meeting date to January 24. I hope this is not a problem, and everyone can still attend.
