Details on the Texas Association of Buckskinners Fall 2020 Rendezvous!

Posted on by

From “Just Josh,” TAB Quartermaster:

Apologies for the delay in providing this to everyone… The Board held off on making the decision on moving forward with the Fall ‘vous until we got a good idea if the Governor would be issuing any orders that would affect our having a gathering of this size.

There is cut and deadfall wood onsite… please bring water for your camp.
Remember that this is an election year for the Club Officers,,, The President, Vice-President, and Quartermaster positions’ terms will end at this ‘vous and will be up for election during the business meeting Saturday before the prize blanket.  If you have been thinking about serving in one of these positions, but weren’t sure about the duties, please talk to one of us during the ‘vous.
President – “Big” John Donahoo
Vice President – “Blackpowder” Jim Branson
Quartermaster – “Just” Josh Kuntz
More details are available, including the flier and a map on the Events page.

**CANCELLATION** 2020 TAB Spring Rendezvous

Posted on by

From Big John Donahoo

It is with a heavy heart I must announce the cancellation of the 2020 TAB Spring Rendezvous April 3rd-5th. The Board of Directors had already been in communication with one another about the subject when we received word last night that the landowner has asked that we not come onto her property until the corona virus outbreak settles down.

That said, the landowner does want us to have a TAB Rendezvous on her property in the future and suggested we come in October 2020 for the Fall Rendezvous. After discussing it with the other Board members we decided to do just that. Andrew Lewis has asked that his election as Booshway be deferred to the Fall 2020 Rendezvous. The Board agrees with that request.

The 2020 TAB Fall Rendezvous will be held on that property near Paige, Texas October 23-25, 2020 with Andrew Lewis as Booshway and Ronnie Spence as Segundo.

The Board of Directors will be happy to answer any questions any of our members may have regarding the subject.

Please stay safe and be good to one another.

For the Board of Directors,

Big John

Good evening friends & neighbors,

The time is once again upon us for the Christmas Rendezvous at Presidio la Bahia in Goliad, Texas. The dates for this year’s event are December 6th, 7th & 8th, 2019.

After a last minute change of cast, Cuz will be our Booshway. If you are able to assist with running events please give him a call asap. His cell number is: (281) 513-7685

As a reminder, this event IS open to the general public, and we are NOT able to have any firearms competitions at this rendezvous.

We will have knife & hawk, fire starting, archery and cooking contests. If you have ideas for any other non-firearm related events, please contact Cuz to discuss those ideas.

If you paid your annual TAB dues in October, you are covered for this event.. If you have not paid annual dues, you may do so at this event, or you may pay the $20 camp fee.
