Has the RISGA ended? Their web site at www.risga.com is gone.

As of November, 2015 they have new officers and they are making some changes. I don't know what's going on with the web site.

Wasn't Hankey-Hinkey--The guy who rambled around using big words--Wasn't he one of the big movers of that event?

No, I believe Bill Hankey ran His Mass Bash, which, was not connected to RISGA.
Bill has been off line for quite a while. He had been very sick, but, that's all I know of that.

I spoke with some RISGA members at the PSGA show in November and they said the club has new officers. They seem to be going through some changes. In any event, the RISGA web site is dead for now. Maybe the prior club officers were in charge of the site and took it down? Just a guess...

RISGA does have a Facebook "group" now. But only Facebook members can view it, not the general public.

I don't know, I'm not in the club. You might want to email forum member Manny Escobar. He might know what's going on.

It is true that RISGA no longer has a web site. And my good friend Doug Beaumier is accurate about a Facebook "group". Perhaps President Jim Rice could vocalize about it better than me.
