The Gathering -- 2K10
« on: March 01, 2010, 03:20:50 PM »
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of all ages.  It''s getting to be that time again.  Last I heard, the official date is the last full weekend in July, July 24th and 25th, 2010 at Creekside Lanes.  I thought I''d start a thread to keep people informed so that vacation time can be planned out, schedules adjusted, excuses can be perfected, etc....  I''ll add more to the initial post when I receive more information.  The 2nd annual ThongPrincess Memorial Bragging Rights Tournament is still on for Saturday.  The last 2 years I believe women took the top 3 places -- guys, it''s time to show up and shoe up.  And due to the efforts of a certain SrKegler:  SPONSORED BY GLOBAL 900, STORM, AND LANE 1.  Woohoo!

RSVP to this thread.  Many thanks and hope to see 24 full lanes for the Tournament.

(Edit)  
For those who don''t know, and so there will be full disclosure:
Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Bv
Winston Salem, NC 27127-5646
(336) 771-9800

More swag coming in - Storm is now sending stuff, and wouldn''t suprise me if there was some Roto items mixed in.  SrKegler is still talking to Ebonite - so we may have toys from almost all the major players. (minus Brunswick)

The Gathering 2014 is near.  July 25-27 in Winston Salem, NC @ Creekside lanes.

I will be there for everything except the scotch doubles tournament.  I've no Scotch, no partner, and not an excessive amount of money right now - so I'd rather spend it on Sat/Sunday lane fees instead of dropping an entry fee.

We're really looking forward to seeing everybody again, and meeting new friends.  One week from today we hit the road to get there.  Sr, since Coll passed there hasn't been a whole lot going on on the Thurs., but we live in hope. See you there!  And Jason: Fri. blind draw doubles is listed to go at 2, I've been told.  Will you be there?

Hey all, Jay & I will be there with bells on!!!

Still trying to help out some new Gathering folks with a tentative time frame.  Is the Scotch doubles still happening at 7p on Friday? If not, what time?  We are bringing 5 ladies with us who love to bowl, so if there are guys out there that need partner for the tournament, just come find me, KAT, the quiet one!

What time & where is dinner on Friday, Ron?  If you could get an address w/zip, that would be great for everyone with GPS!

Saturday: What time is our meeting & what time is the 2nd annual Thong Princess Braggin' Rights tournament starting?  Any time frame would help to give them some idea!  I've basically told everyone I know that is coming they should plan to be at the lanes most of the day Friday, Saturday & Sunday!  Eat, sleep & breathe bowling!!

Ron, any luck on the special H-Girls t-shirts?  I have the idea we came up with last year & will send it to you!  Might get a few takers to have those shirts made up, too!!!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

10poundbear,
You really bring 5 ladies with you? Have you become the Madam of Hotlanta?
That is fantastic, we can never have enough womens!!!.

Yes Scotch doubles is at 7pm Friday night.

I will answer more stuff tomorrow.

Can't wait to get you a BEAR HUG.
By the way did you have any pics of the Drama Queen? I don't think there were any on the disc you sent last year.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. We'll have the new site up this weekend. I'll post here when it's ready for public consumption. The laptop will be with me at the Gathering so that we (as a group) can make changes to the site on the fly as we come up with various ideas.

We'll be in late, late Thursday night and will be around until later on Sunday.
