Hello FROCS around the Globe, I would like to cordially invite you to the
3rd Meeting of the FROCS - FRiends Of the Centaure Society - 2012
The meeting of active and want-to-be Centaure aficionados.
This year Erik “ Erik Fridjoffson“ Schelenz FROCS #44 will be our host and organizing the event. It will take place at the shooting range of the Schützengesellschaft DIANA Hirschau e.V., in D-92242 Hirschau/Germany.
You may look forward to an exciting program in the beautiful Oberpfalz, at one of the most advanced German shooting ranges! Rumor has it that we should be prepared for a couple of surprises during our stay …
Obviously we will be blazing away with our favourite Belgian C&B revolvers a lot – theme Poker Run – best regards from Wild Bill Hickok, ha.
In addition the latest findings of the Centaure research will be presented and of course, we will have our traditional exhibition. If you are shopping for this other Centaure or wish to thin out your herd of Centennial Armies, you are likely to find a (legal) buyer or seller among the participants. And if it is solid gunsmith advice what you need to repair or restore this old NMA junker of your’s this event is the place to be August 18/19, 2012.
Personally I am looking forward to a happy, relaxed and comradely get-together, seeing old friends again and making acquaintance of new FROCS. Because the number of FROCS is growing steadily.
All International visitors please note: “Translation will be available“ – but won’t be needed because after a few steins of the tasty local brew we shall be talking the same language, anyhow.
Attached please, find the official poster of this year’s meeting, the registration form and the preliminary program.
Please, email or fax your registration ASAP to either Erik or myself, to enable us to make all necessary arrangements.
Erik and I look forward to welcoming you in good health and with spirits high August 18 & 19, 2012 at SG DIANA.
Let’s have a good time together with and around our Centaures!
Questions or suggestions? Email or phone Erik or me. For contact information check below or on the attached documents.
