the get together is still on at my house on sunday May 18. we will have a few short seminars. the topics have yet to be determined. i can give some turning tips and i am sure composite grips will be discussed. email me directly so i can get an idea how many will attend. i live in Clemmons, NC which is just outside of Winston-Salem(off I-40).

I plan to attend and I would imagine that Buddy Owens, Larry Tysinger, Sammy Mickel and Steve Gardner will be there as well. I'll let them speak for themselves but if you wanted to put together a program of sorts I'm sure we'd have enough folks to present some interesting topics.

JP, good luck putting this together. HAVE FUN!!! Hopefully people take you up on this.

Are you doing the rod building sessions at Woodcraft again this year?

Unfortunately, I cannot make it. I have twin girls and their 4th birthday is May 18! I It is about time to upgrade them from their Barbie Zebco setups to true custom pink outfits!! JP, I will catch up with you soon and drop off a pile of thread so everyone can experiment with different materials...nylons, silks, metallics, and some new materials we are tossing around. Is this going to become SERBS??...does not sound like a bad idea!!

Wish you were closer....incredible looking shop you built.

Hey JP,

Sounds like a great time, this is one that should not be missed. Really wish I could attend!! Nothing better than some rod builders getting together and having a good time.

Have a great time time to all that attend!!! Take some pics and post!!
