"Virtual" chapter of the PFRA

Are you interested in joining a chapter of the Professional Football Researchers Association that would meet occasionally and have an annual winter conference with guest speakers, guest athletes, etc., all by videoconference? If so, please let me know your interest and I will keep you in the loop about efforts to create this new chapter.

Many of us simply do not live close to other members, and this new "virtual" chapter of the PFRA would no only help us to stay connected in a more personal way, but it would help with recruitment into the PFRA.

You can leave a comment, send me a direct message here in the forum, or email me at borderboysbook -AT- gmail.com to show your interest.

We don't have a name for this chapter yet, and the image here was created by artificial intelligence and is just a placeholder for the idea.

For people that no longer travel like myself I think this is an intriguing idea. Hope others feel the same. How many members would we need to make it viable??

Since it is a virtual chapter, you can't write my name down. So...

Log me in!

Sounds cool. I'm very interested. It's very hard to wait 24 months to see everyone, so it would be cool to catch up with fellow members in the winter. Count me in.
