The Fall Event aka Tannu Tuva Memorial Fall Fling

 7 Comments- Add comment Written on 14-Oct-2008 by JimGilligan

Well, the Tour de Livingston was a smash success. I spent lots of time over the past few months helping to organize the event and was rewarded with a 100 mile bike ride on the prettiest day this fall!

On to the Fall Event, aka Tannu Tuva Memorial Fall Fling. What ever happened to Tannu Tuva?

The event will be held at my house located at 7273 Hamburg Rd., Brighton on Saturday, November 1 from noon until 5 p.m.

Bring a dish to pass. Kylie has a severe nut allergy. Please make sure your dish does not contain nuts or nut byproducts. TwinFawns has set up a forum topic here to coordinate who's bringing what. Thanks, TwinFawns! Please RSVP via the poll to the right of this post so we know how many to expect.

We will have an official ISAC at 2 plus a few other targets will be set up. Bring your atlatls and your bows.

There will be a campfire and a knapping pit. The knapping pit will be under cover if the weather is inclement. The Brighton State Recreation Area is across the street with 5000 acres of fields, forests, streams and lakes for those who want to do some exploring by foot, bike, or boat.

While we are all gathered I want to take care of some club business: I want to have a discussion about the future of the MAA. And I want to see how much  interest there is in the idea of hosting the World Atlatl Association Annual Meeting at the Chelsea Rod & Gun Club next July.

I had also hoped to set up a dart making workshop so we could build more darts for the club, but I don't think I'll be able to get that together. The club darts are in pitiful condition.

If we run out of things to do, we can practice our throat singing:

 
We look forward to seeing you on the 1st! Jim, Lori, and Kylie

Wisconsin Atlatl Upate

Hi Michigan Friends,
As you know, Mary and I were not able to make Boblo because of the meeting with the Upland Game Committee on that Saturday about the use of an Atlatl for hunting. To give you a shortened version they voted 19-2 to PASS my advisory question, to allow the use of an Atlatl for small game in Wisconsin :) 
Now it will go to the Executive committee of the DNR in January. If they pass the advisory question, then it will come to vote in April at the Conservation Spring Hearings, which are state wide. If my Advisory question passes in April, then the following year it will come to vote as a law change. This is really a long process, but I truly believe that the Atlatl should be able to be used for hunting purposes. Thanks for caring and asking, if you know any people in Wisconsin ask them to attend the spring hearing in April in their local county and vote yes on the Atlatl advisory question.
 
So how was Boblo this year? I really missed seeing everyone. Already anticipating the next gathering in 2009 at Bois Blanc island. 
Regards,
Lenny Riemersma
