Upcoming Competition - Peninsula Invitational
Hi Everyone!
I hope that all of you are having a fantastic Monday!
On the weekend of January 27th we will be traveling to Grand Rapids, MI to compete against GVSU in the Peninsula Invitational. If people wanted to go, we could **TRY** to make it to the MTU hockey game at Ferris.
The Peninsula Invitational is a standard competition that will be broadcast on the internet and shown at some places with a fundraiser portion run in coordination with the Michigan Tech and GVSU alumni associations. This will also count as our Collegiate Sectionals.
This will most likely be a university verified absence. What that means is:
Student Organization members may request letters to verify their participation in co-curricular activities in the event that they need to miss class to do so. This letter is meant to confirm a student’s participation in an extracurricular activity, however it is not an excuse and it is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor(s) and gain permission to make up any assignments, course work, and quizzes missed during this time.
The course of fire will be 60 shots air rifle, and 60 shots 3-position smallbore in the NRA Collegiate / old NCAA format.
The cost to attend will be somewhere in the $40-$60 range and will be all inclusive except for food, entertainment and ammunition. We can only take up to 8 right handed & 2 left handed competitors due to equipment limitations. For this trip to happen, we will need a minimum of 4 participants.
** IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY December 15th! **
I don't have an itinerary for this yet, because I'm wating to see if we have enough people to make this trip happen before scheduling with GVSU. But a rough outline of our schedule would be:
- Leaving in the morning on the 26th (Or evening on the 25th, If we wanted to goto the Friday hockey game)
- Shooting against GVSU on the 27th in the morning. Possible hockey game if you guys wanted to go.
- Returning to Houghton on the 28th.
Thanks,
Zach
