Mid-Year Rendezvous

The first mid-year gathering of CWPS members, between the annual CWPS Conventions, took place in 1966. Because of the seventeen months between the 1966 and 1967 CWPS Conventions, Colonel Billy Matz sponsored a mid-year “CSA Bash” in Memphis in conjunction with MEMPHEX.

In January 1993 Col. Harry McDowell wrote to the Secretary, Colonel Rick Calhoun, and suggested that the CWPS hold another mid-year rendezvous, between annual CWPS Conventions. These gatherings have become quite popular, usually without exhibits, and often for CWPS members and their guests only, to share camaraderie, and buy, sell or trade material.
