BR Gathering?
« on: December 31, 2004, 05:38:09 PM »
Just a thought......

How about a Ball Review Gathering during July that would include:

A clinic with Brad Angelo. This would be either a morning or afternoon session, maybe approximately 2-4 hours, including a buffet with famous Buffalo Wings. He does have a website http://www.splitvisions.com/lts/learntostrike.asp but pricing would be worked out.

Plenty of things to do besides all the bowling you can handle:
Niagara Falls, Old Fort Niagara, Six Flags, Fantasy Island, Wineries, Casinos, Auto Racing (asphalt and dirt), Micro Breweries, and a Firematic Racing Tournament.

There are plenty of cheap hotels (and I have contacts with AAA). If anyone would want to be in town on Tuesday and/or Wednesday there are Classic Shootouts scheduled. You can see how you stack up against Angelo, Tom Baker, Joe Ciccone, Liz Johnson, Jack Jurek (will be on Exempt Tour 05-06), and a host of other top amateurs ( see their bios at www.mybowler.com)

If there is enough interest, Brad, and possibly a few "surprise" instructors will be available. This would most likely be the 2nd weekend in July. BTW...this would be in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area...Western N.Y.  About 6.5 hours from NYC, 2.5 hours from Cleveland, 4 hours from Pittsburgh, to give you an idea.

24 is not my age, IQ, or bowling average, but my firematic number, at least I think that what it is

I think this deserves a bump.

So, if we want to go, what courses of action do we have to take?  I assume a confirmation to let you know we are coming, and stuff?

I definitely have some interest...  only about 1.5 hrs from my parents.. and probably 4.5 from me...  I would kill 2 birds with one stone... (visit the parents too).

Yeah, I made a post asking about this like a week ago, and nobody responded.  I'm guessing it's cancelled?

I wanna go! It's only 1h 30min from me!

We need to pick a date (or dates).  One day is a little too short to meet everyone

Hey everyone--so sorry no one has responded to your questions regarding this gathering. We had no idea that people were still interested. I will let MTFD know to post something in the next day or two about this. I know we were still waiting to hear back from Brad. Again I'm really sorry about the silence!!
