BR The Gathering 2008
« on: July 29, 2007, 02:48:24 PM »
Yes you read it right, 2008.  Last night some of us got to talking about dates for next year. Karen mentioned she has to request her vacation time in December, so we made a decision about next year's gathering.

Location: Creekside Lanes - Winston Salem, North Carolina

Unless something drastic happens, we will hold The Gathering July 24 - 27, 2008.   So mark your calendars and prepare to join the best gathering around!  Don't miss out on all the fun - bowling, eating, bowling, eating, bowling sleeping, bowling, and the pattern continues.  Oh and there is a whole lot of socializing, laughing, and did I mention eating and bowling?

I am sure there will also be a little golf, poker and pool for those so inclined.

Wisconsin?  That's not so far.  We come from Ft. Liquordale to attend.

All are welcome!  

The cost is your own travel expenses, meals, and lineage for the games you bowl.  Ron gives us the league rate.  He also provides coaching for those interested.  He is an awesome coach.  If I didn't need another 11 years to get full medical at retirement, I'd be making a move to NC

The Bragging Rights Tournament is just that for bragging rights and Rone gives the winner a 1 of a kind T-Shirt.

For those who arrive by Friday, Ron runs a Mixed Scotch Doubles which is a lot of fun.  It can be very amusing, especially when a certain person leaves interesting splits for her partner (I did much better this past year).

Come to one and you will be hooked.  Many of us start thinking of the next years as soon as the current Gathering ends.

Allow me to chime in.  I'm in total agreement with my fellow attendees.  It's a great time and since our first one it's the first thing we plan on every year.  The wife and I always have a good time.  Di says to say "Hi" to everybody.  The only thing that would keep us away is a disaster.  We're already looking forward to seeing our old friends and making new ones.

One year we actually did wear name tags for Saturday's events.  To be honest, the ones who really want to hide behind a screen name don't show up.

Hide behind a screen name?  What, like "ThongPrincess"?

My wife, who is not into bowling all that much had a great time last year.  She's already looking forward to it even with our busy schedules.

Joe Falco - I'm very much looking forward to meeting you and bowling with you (as long as it takes).

Those wonderful people we met last year - we're excited to spend time with you again.

People thinking about their first gathering - we'd sure like you to come out and join the fun.  Nothing like people who like bowling.  Good stuff.

Screen name, yes ... hide no many actually do know my real name.  Besides ThongPrincess is much more interesting than the real name
