NE Ohio bunch Spring meeting
Back from vacation and here we go again. The next bunch will meet on May 12th at North Olmsted sportsman club. To look it up go to NOSC online. The hours will be from 10 am till 4 pm on Sat. Bring you're favorite S&W's to display or if you have S&W items or guns to sell, bring them also. We have 23 tables to use and if needed we can move out into the range and use the shooting tables. If you live in a close by STATE, you are welcome to come and join us. If you know someone that would enjoy attending, bring em with you. People are traveling up to 3 hours to attend. Admission is 2.00 each and that includes fresh coffee or assorted beverages (pop or soda for you out of towners). FOOD.... is provided by the people that attend so bring a snack or appetizer to share. We do eat good. Ask you're wife if you are not sure what to bring, she'll know. If you have any questions about the meeting, ask them here so everyone can see them and it will keep the post bumped. I'll answer all questions as we go along. NOSC was very busy till May on Sat's so this one is a little late.
DIRECTIONS. Take I- 480 west past the air port to the Stearns -Crocker exit and turn right (north). Go to the first red lite, Lorain rd. and turn left. Take Lorain abt 1 mile to Barton rd., turn rt. At the first stop sign is Bradley rd., turn rt. NOSC is on the right after abt 4 ranch homes at 5742 Bradley rd. North Olmsted Ohio.
We average just under 60 people per meeting. I need more of the core members that stay abt 4 hrs. We're having fun. Meet new people in the S&W family or renew an old friendship. We may do T-shirts again in different colors. HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD so more people hear about the group. Thanks, Larry

Glad to see you're coming Jeff, I look forward to the excellent pulled pork you smoke. To attend this meeting, you don't have to be a SWCA member. This is not a SWCA only group, its for anyone that wants to come that likes S&W's. I'm trying to get Andy Horvath to attend. He's working on a gun of mine and seemed very interested. Larry

Glad to see some of the regulars coming back and some new ones, must be doin something right. The mass e-mail should be out today from Jim. Some of the e-mails don't work, not sure why. Remember to help letting people know about the group. I'll buy plates, napkins and plastic forks for the group with the money raised last time. Larry

George, it as a pleasure to meet you at the IX center in Oct. We meet not far from the IX. You have a nice collection of guns I'm sure. The OGCA meets 7 times a year and the bunch only twice a year. Think of how happy you're wife will be with the money you save by not going to the OGCA and the gas you save also. There is a nice mall close to NOSC, bring her for the ride .Larry

Talked to Tom H. tonight. He'll do a model 60 display. He Has some experimental guns and some from police dept's. Total of abt 40 model 60's and pretty much all different. As usual it will be a good display. Never knew there were so many variations. NOSC also has cooking facilities to warm food if needed. Larry

Larry,
Someone from my gun club is thinking of coming by and having a S&W model 29-2 for possible sale at my table.
They emailed me after I notified them of the possible model 60 display, he loves 60's.

I'm hoping to get Andy Horvath to attend. He grew up with the pres. of NOSC so it would be a sort of reunion btwn two old friends. This way he wouldn't be intimidated not knowing anyone. No body owes me for this, I always wanted a local bunch and Tulsa was too far to travel. SO I started this group. Jack, anyone is welcome to come and the 29-2 may sell. I put this meeting on the SWCA lounge and got a response from eastern PA. Hope Bob decides to come, wow abt a 8 hour drive. There is a very close safe mall if wives decide to come. Larry

I recently inherited my first and only S&W in the form of a Model 10-5, but I would love to come see everyone's collection and get ideas for what my next S&W will be.

You're choice on what to bring. Both sound real good. We do eat well, Kritters smoked pulled pork is excellent. No only do we have some nice Smiths on display but we have some talented chefs attending. Larry

Jack, the Berea show is the only one I go to regularly. I was very crowded last time. I can bring these to the show if anyone is interested. A Ruger #1V in 223 very good cond. A Stevens single shot .22 414 armory model with peep sights. Savage BSE SxS 20 ga with 26" bbls. TC Contender in 357 max with 12" hunter bbl w/ muzzle break. Brass & bullets. Let me know ahead of time so I can bring them. Bought a Reg Mag and need to raise money. One last one is a 27-2 3 1/2" bbl with an S ser no. PM me you're phone no and I'll call with the price and description. Larry
