For something that is open to the general public and not advertised it is kept pretty secretive for some reason Ed! It's basically a gathering of the association and anyone is welcome to attend and basically explains what NYSTA is and what they do, what's going on currently With NYSTA, I'm sure cable restraints will be discussed some especially since the spring Conference will be in the northern zone. I will be discussing discussing what it's like to get started in the trapping supply industry in a so called "dying sport". Luke Blair will be doing a speech on the benefits trapping has for waterfowl and he represents Delta Waterfowl. Nothing is for sale, it's not a convention. Basically a gathering to discuss issues good or bad and a few trapping related speeches done by people for entertainment.
I've never attended one before but, this is how it was explained it to me, It also includes a free lunch!

Attended one here in region 9 a couple years ago. Was well done. That one was promoted at least a couple months in advance. This one a weeks notice. I see it just got posted at the website. I guess they don't want many of us there.

The one in Collins was one of the best attended conferences from what I heard...was the one I attended. Plenty of advance notification, I'm sure that makes a difference regarding attendance. Mole has a point...why struggle to find out what's going on.

Mole has a point...why struggle to find out what's going on. I knew about this Event at LEAST a month ago. Why Mole ED BAXTER is throwing a HISSY fit and deleting my post is beyond me, as It had a lot of information about three of the past Conferences. Calling Paula & Johnrockwood Liars and saying that they gave him the run-around is NOT COOL and Mole should be deleting his own Hysterical, Crybaby Posts instead of Mine. Of Course, Mole always has been a Bully of a Moderator and has deleted dozens of my Posts So His Hitler-like attitude is well known on this forum. I know The mole will delete this post as well and give me a permanent vacation but Too bad, So sad. hopefully Wayne will see this and intervene, and put a stop to Mole's On-line Temper Tantrums. Happy trails all , AND FULL STRETCHERS. Mole, You can Kiss My SCOTS-IRISH Backside. WALLEYED

There's a point to be made that this post was started, even if it was seemingly insufficient, at least a month prior to the event. Also the topic was brought up in January and April at the board of directors meetings to be put out to all the regions and counties by its Representatives. Prior to that this was supposed to happen last year in dannemora and it was public knowledge that President Ed Hogan put the kibosh to it for his own personal pleasure. He admitted trying to have it rescheduled at his college so that other alumni could see him being installed as president. All of this was at a board of directors meeting. I demanded that the board allow a redo this year in the same area to give the Adirondacks and the north a chance at the spring conference that they had been robbed from. So here it is the opportunity for this area to hold a spring conference in hopes that it represents well enough that it is talked about like all the rest. Now if a lifetime NYSTA member does not know what a spring conferences is I will not hold that against you. But I will however hold you to supporting it because it is in your area finally. Also in supporting J P Wilson who has worked very hard two years in a row now, organizing this. Because someone isn't treated fairly in another forum doesn't mean that this one should operate the same way. I do believe that that happened and I ripped a bunch of people about it and said that a person in that position can't act like God and remove a post just because they have the power. I was once told by a wise man named Jack Gray that a sign of intelligence is having an argument with someone and disagreeing but being able to walk away not mad. It's called respecting someone else's opinion not to mention it's a free education about the opposing side. Remember that people that cast doubt are scared. And people who are scared are uninformed. So make it to a county meeting, make it to a board of directors meeting and keep yourself informed. None of which have ever been top secret. People are posting in here all the time when the next meetings are, detach the keyboard and chair from your body and go to one. Remain a member sign up as a member on the new website and log in and look at the meeting minutes. Lastly I do apologize for how brief the original announcement was. It was supposed to be put out earlier but wasn't and that person has been addressed already as well. Enough is enough. So like Jim said, who else is going?

I would like to attend as well, who do we contact to find out who is welcome. Everyone is invited. Life members, annual members, affiliate club members, affiliate club family members.... mayors,senators,assembly,commissioner, DEC,legislators. Years ago it bounced around at different locations to try and stimulate interest. Then it was put in Albany districts trying to gather political attendance so that they were well-informed and had a working relationship with the State Association. Albany empties on Saturdays and everyone goes home to their local area so now it is back to a traveling conference. The executive board will present its mission statement. We will hear from a lobbyist on current events from Albany. I heard there was a high-level official from the dec coming. But more importantly J P Wilson will be giving his presentation as the new era of trapping and a startup business in this day and age. On the flip side of the coin we were going to have Mr. Grimshaw there to tell us all what he had seen in his many years of business but we all know that may not be possible. Also we have the support of the delta waterfowlers and Luke Blair who wanted to show the positive impact that Trappers have on habitats. So bring a car load and $10 per head and enjoy the day. It has a late start of 10 a.m. to allow people to get there and we have the Town Hall for as long as we need it
