 At every convention, there are a large
variety of seminars and workshops that appeal to all members of the Guild and
their families. The content of the presentations ranges from simple to complex,
from party favors for children of all ages to advanced multi-break shell
construction.
The preliminary schedule and pre-registration info is provided in the July
Bulletin as well as on-line at this site. A final schedule of events will be
listed in the convention program.
Early registration will be available for some classes that have a fee and
limited class size, but not all. On site registration is available starting the
first day of the convention, and will remain available until the classes
requiring registration fill up. Only classes that require a fee and are limited
in size require any form of registration. Most seminars and workshops are show
up and enjoy. Do not feel that you are missing everything when a few workshops
fill up early in the week.
The PGI shooter’s certification class is always held on Wednesday of
convention week. Remember that renewals of certifications are required with
continuing education.
2008 has an amazing number of hands-on workshops, as well as a typical array
of other classes. There will be lots for people to see, do and enjoy. Please
look to be a part of the 2008 PGI convention!
