gijive Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp227/Colt1928/TATA%20Images/TATALogocopy.jpg All, I hope that you will be able to join The American Thompson Association at the NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits, April 25, 26 and 27, 2014 in Indianapolis, IN. The American Thompson Association will be sponsoring an exciting exhibit that will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the NRA Show. Volunteers from the membership will be needed to assist in the setup and breakdown of the exhibit, as well as provide manpower to greet the public and answer questions about the exhibit over the weekend. The initial setup will begin on the 23rd and 24th of April, 2014. As you are aware, The American Thompson Association is well known for creating visual displays that have won many awards at the NRA Shows over the years. This is primarily due to the hard work by the club founder, Tracie Hill, who puts a lot of time and effort into creating these displays. The membership of the club has also been an integral part of these displays by providing manpower to greet the public and answer any questions about the exhibit during the NRA Show. This years theme is Machine Guns of World War I and promises to be one of the most ambitious displays provided by The American Thompson Association yet. Many rare guns will be displayed from the collection of Robert Segal, Editor of Small Arms Review. The American Thompson Association has secured a block of rooms at the following hotel near the convention area: Courtyard by Marriott4650 Southport Crossing Dr.Indianapolis,IN(317) 885-9799 Please contact me on this Board by Private Message if you can volunteer for a day or two or for the entire weekend to assist in setup or to volunteer to man the exhibit during the convention weekend. We need your help to continue the excellent track record The American Thompson Association has been able to establish at the NRA conventions, by providing award winning displays that help promote our hobby to the public. If you can attend the NRA Show please make your reservations early and let me know what days you will be available to volunteer to assist so I can began a list and schedule people. Thanks for your support of the American Thompson Association and the NRA. Sincerely, Chuck SchauerPresidentThe American Thompson Association http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp227/Colt1928/TATA%20Images/2014NRAINDYcopy.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnsonlmg41 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Something to note is that this is not open to the public. (I found out the hard way) You must be an NRA member to enter, however you can join at the door if you wish. In the past they had banned a number of products such as suppressors in their show. Not sure if this is still the case, however I am curious? I recall machineguns being banned as well, with the exception of these vintage displays? Any updated info would be appreciated.

It was my pleasure and thanks to all for making me feel welcome. Looking forward to getting together again in the future.Hntrdarren, It was great talking with you last night. Thanks to Knobcreeknut for dragging you along. Definitely check out one of the show and shoots this year, you won't regret it and will have a ton of fun - plus we would like to see your guns . If we can stop talking about guns long enough we can also talk about hunting. I love hunting but lately with everything else going on I don't get out very much. Usually just enough to decompress, but not see anything exciting. - Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
