HI TO ALL LIST MEMBERS & GPC DIRECTORS
Who is the person behind the e mail Address UKGPG@aol.com you may be asking. 
Well, it's only me, Mike Turner from England with an additional e mail 
Address that i will be using for correspondence regarding the proposed UNITED 
KINGDOM GIANT PUMPKIN GROWERS group that i am attempting to get set up for 
the year 2000 growing season.

I can still be contacted at MTu4639875@aol.com but for the purpose of this 
posting i am using the e mail address for the proposed UNITED KINGDOM GIANT 
PUMPKIN GROWERS as my URGENT request for information is related to the 
possibility of the group actually becoming a reality. SORRY for the confusion 
but i had to give some explanation for the different e mail address on this 
posting.

Now to the point. 
I have been approached by David, the manager of my local Pub, or bar as i 
understand they are called in the usa & canada, and he has asked me if i 
would be interested in being involved with an idea he has to generate 
publicity for the chain of restraunts and Pubs that my local Pub is a part 
of. Dave's idea is not only aimed at creating publicity for the chain of Pubs 
and Restraunts but to help promote growing Giant Pumpkins and the fun 
involved with growing them.

The basic outline of Dave's idea is to set up a challenge between the pubs 
and restraunts in the chain and see who can grow the heaviest pumpkin next 
year. I am not yet sure if such a Weigh-Off would be an open event for anyone 
who wishes to enter or if it would be for Pub and Restraunt entries only. I 
have another meeting with dave to discuss this further this evening when i 
hope that i will have more information on his idea. Dave had such an idea 
when he weighed and cut open a 410 Lb Pumpkin that was in the Pub for a guess 
the weight of the pumpkin competition. When he opened the pumpkin up he saved 
the best seeds from it and is drying them for possible distribution to other 
Pubs and Restraunts who may want to take part in the Pumpkin competition.

At the moment Dave's idea is just that and there are a lot of things to get 
put together in order for Dave to put his idea to the area manager this 
Wednesday December 8th. I have offered my services to Dave and i will be 
supporting the organising and build up to such a Weigh-Off should his idea 
get approval from the company that owns the chain of Pubs and Restraunts. I 
also hope that as part of the Giant Pumpkin challenge i will be able to get 
my proposed UNITED KINGDOM GIANT PUMPKIN GROWERS group up and running. I have 
suggested to Dave that it would be highly beneficial both for the chain of 
Pubs and Restraunts and for the UKGPG if the UKGPG were to become a branch 
member of the GPC.

This is where i need and would be most grateful for YOUR help in finding out 
the following ESSENTIAL and URGENT information about the GPC and what is 
exactly involved with becoming and being a GPC Branch Member Group.
1. Is there a web site for all the relevant information and rules about 
becoming a Branch Member of the GPC. 
2. Is there a charge for becoming a GPC Branch Member, if so what is the 
cost. 
3. What support do GPC Branch Members get from the main body of the GPC. 
4. Is there a set amount of prize money that all GPC Branch Members have to 
offer at it's Weigh-Off's. 
5. ANY OTHER INFORMATION WOULD ALSO BE GREATLY APPRECIATED INDEED.

If you are able to provide me with the answers to the above questions i would 
be MOST GRATEFUL indeed and THANKYOU for taking the time to read this urgent 
posting.

THANKYOU IN ADVANCE
BEST WISHES
MIKE TURNER
ENGLAND
