3rd N.E. Illinois BR Get-Together Report...
« on: September 09, 2006, 03:11:42 PM »
I made it up to Beverly at 12 noon.
They had just finished conditioning the lanes when I arrived.
They put out one of the Sr. Regional PBA patterns.

We had 8 bowlers show up. 3 BR members, (me, Chitown, Northface); 5 non-members: Jon Peterson, Joe Strzelecki, Dan Svehla, and his father Tom, and Mike (who attended the Elk Grove gathering).

I fractured my little toe yesterday afternoon, and really didn't think I'd be able to bowl. I taped the toe at Beverly, put my bowling shoes on, and it hurt like heck. Figured I'd practice "1-step" delivery. did that for awhile, and ended up throwing a 3-step, after the first 5 games.

We had a good time. Chitown picked up a used Black Widow for $45.00, great deal for him. We sat around and talked bowling for a bit...Northface has gone to forward pitch in his thumb, and is rolling the ball super, he made the shot look like a THS.

The shot was very hittable, if you made quality shots. Like most shots are.

Anyone up a for another get together?
Date? Time? Place?

Anyway to make it on a Sunday? Or how about a little later on Saturdays? 2PM till whenever? By the time I got out from the Youth Leauge yesterday it was 3PM! 1st days are really slow. Sounds like a good time.

Mike,
I'm open to Sundays...
different times?
Different centers?
I'm laid up right now, for awhile with a fractured/broken toe.
I'm seeing a doc tomorrow.
I'll make the get together even if I can't roll the ball.

Later,
Rich

I was thinking here, what if we made the next BR meet 2 months from now? I know its gonna get hard to hold these things during the winter season. Might even be better to have the next meet after the winter season is done with. Just a few ideas.
