Okay, it`s official. Slushee has negotiated with the EESA Club executive! Life is good and we are officially running on Sat 25 Oct, 2008. 
* Date: Sat 25 Oct 2008
* Location: EESA, not far from Tilsonburg (Map link can be found down below)
* Cost: $ 35
* Timings: 0900 start - Likely finish up around 1600 hrs
Material Covered:
- Tools for tweaking, tools to avoid, tools that are nice to have but expensive, tools that are overrated and too expensive
- Gadgets that are nice to have, need to have, and useless to have (but I had to buy it to show you)
- Tools that you can make yourself instead of buying, tools that you can have buddies (owe you favors) make up for you
- Stripping the boomstick (you will be surprised at what I can show you)
- Assembling the boomstick, and what to look for so that worthwhile tweaks can be or should be made
- Tweaks that work, tweaks that don't work, expensive tweaks so yer #### does not fall off
- Useless tweaks unless you have more money that shooting ability (many stories to follow at the clinic)
- Common pitfalls, expensive tweaks that work, more ways to ensure that yer #### don't fall off
- Lunch and then tweaking in the afternoon, shimming, pounding out more shims (all hands on activities)
- Lots of networking and socializing all the time. This is priceless (even if the $ 35 only covers my costs).
* Things to bring: your M14, some basic tools, notebook, pens, digital camera, rags, ball peen hammer, punches, screwdrivers, more punches, TIG Welder, Service Truck (vise for rebarreling), fired brass for us to measure, plastic or rubber mallet, wood block or 2, Black and Decker Workmate (clamping ability for your barreled action or stock), masking tape, duct tape, Loctite (blue and red stuff), more to follow as I remember or remind myself.
* Registration: NO More Registration form...
JUST send me the $35. EMT'ed $ 35 is great, but mailed cheques have worked in the past.
* Directions:
Get on the 401
401 to Putnam road
Putnam road south to Ron McNeil Line
Ron McNeil Line west to Springfield Road
Springfield Road south to EESA
Springfield has a dogleg at Glencolin Line that veers east before continuing south. (you actually go 20m on Glencolin before turning back onto Springfield)

So long as they are supervised by a club member (me). Range rules must be followed (obviously)
