AH Get Together in Vegas During Safari Club International (SCI) Convention 2012

[AfricaHunting.com]

I would like to announce an AH Get Together at the SCI convention in Vegas.

Lori Spears (aka safari gal) from Travel Express has been kind enough to host the AH meet up her booth once again as our get together rendez-vous spot on Friday, February 3rd, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon, her booth number is 3948.

I am really looking forward to meeting more members in person and seeing some of you again. Everyone is welcome and I encourage you to come even if you are not a member but just enjoy visiting the site from time to time.

For AH members I will be giving away AfricaHunting.com caps. If you think that you'll be coming please put a post on this thread to let me know so that I have an idea as to how many caps to bring.

AH will also be giving away three $250 gift certificates to members who attend the meet up that can be used for purchasing an airline ticket from Travel Express. These gift certificates are valid for tickets purchased by the end of the year (2012). The winners will be randomly drawn from those who enter their names at the booth. The members who have won these gift certificates will be announced in this thread after the show.

To be eligible for any of the prizes you have to be a registered member of AH. So for you lurkers out there who plan on stopping by I suggest that you join AH to become an official member and get in on the action!

Thank you again Lori for making this possible.

Jerome

See you there

The wife and I are planning on being there also. Looking forward to putting faces to the names.
We are holding a "Page Safari Club" meeting Sat evening here in Page AZ at the Lake Powell Jet Center. We have 4 recent African hunrters and their PH (Ewert Vorster, Sadaka Safaris) in town to talk to several folks from our town here on just how easy it is to hunt Africa. I have one couple going to SCI for the first time this year only because I told him he has to go there BEFORE he ever books a hunt to Africa. And he's frothing at the bit to go hunt in Africa. Another fish hooked ))))

Will be there Wed & Thurs and will stop by and say hi

Count me in, Jerome. Will see you on Friday.

Jerome, What a pleasure to meet you and some of the other board members at SCI. We leave in 7 weeks for hunt number 5 and still have lots t do, Keep up the good work on this site. I have learned a lot by reading other members posts. Thanks!

 

[wswat]

Good to meet you also! And thanks for the nice hat!

Jerome Thank You For The Hat! Silverado

Thank you to all who came to the meet up!

It was truly great to have the opportunity to meet, and see again, some of the AH members as well as a few wives and lurkers. We had a steady stream of people during the meet up at the Travel Express' booth, with about 70 people coming by to chat and say hi and a few lurkers who came to check it out. I really enjoyed it and feel I know more of you... plus I always constructive feedback in person that I don't usually get otherwise!

We definitely plan to do a meet up again next year but more than likely we'll do a happy hour/cocktail get together that will be more conducive to hanging out.

Thanks to Lori Spears (aka safari gal) from Travel Express who was kind enough to host the meet up at her booth, thank you again.

As you know AH is giving away three $250 gift certificates to members who attended the meet up that can be used for purchasing an airline ticket to anywhere from Travel Express.

The three randomly selected winners who have won these $250 gift certificates are:

wswat
NOLA_9.3x74
Wannabe

Congratulations!

These gift certificates are valid for tickets purchased by the end of the year (2012) and will be made available only to the identified winner who need to send through their AH member's account a Private Message through AH to Lori (safari gal) with their name and detailed information. The gift certificates are non-transferable, non-assignable, non-refundable, non-redeemable for cash and no substitute prize will be offered.

 

[wswat]

JACKPOT!!

 

[TRAVEL EXPRESS]

Thanks Jerome and congratulations to the certificate winners! It was good seeing you again and nice to meet AH members at the booth. Some also stopped by earlier in the week to say "Hello" that couldn't be there on Friday. Wish I could have mingled a little more during the get together but unfortunately I was pretty tied up with bookings but I guess that's the reason for being there so no complaints!

To: wswat, NOLA_9.3x74 & Wannabe - I look forward to hearing from you and helping with the travel arrangements for your next adventure!
