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.

I might just have to attend this :-)  It'd be like a slightly late birthday present (b-day's on the 23rd).  Sounds like it'd be a good time.  I might have to convince Hex to come, too!

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.

Ah, memories!

I'll be staying at the Extended Stay.  They usually give us the best rates.  Looking forward to seeing old faces, even the [deleted] lefty's, hoping to see a lot of new ones.

Off the top of my head, the Extended Stay is about 2 miles away from Creekside.

I've been staying at the Extended Stay evey year.  It is close, clean, and cheap.  Right now to book for July the cost is $69.99 Wednesday night and $66.99 Thursday - Sunday.

SrKegler -
It will be great seeing you again.  You were missed very much at the last few, even by one of those [deleted] lefties

We also like to stay there.  It's nice to have the amenities of a mini apartment, and a fridge to keep the wine cold.  It's one exit away from the lanes and has a lot of restaurants and shopping in the area.  Happy New Year and we'll see you all there.

We also were at the Extended Stay, it's very convenient to the lanes and plenty of eats nearby.

baseballfrk8998,
I am sure we have had 19 year olds there before and maybe even younger. You are more than welcome to come, you will have a great time...parents as well.

One of the things I love about bowling, it don't matter what your age, sex, skin color, hair length (or no hair), ability, profession (we have even let lawyers come), education (we even let a college physics professor come), or skill level, we love you all and all are welcome at The Gathering.

The only thing we are not too crazy about is a bad attitude so just leave that at home.

Looking forward to the next big show already!!!
My staff at Creekside should be out of the mental ward by then.

Bowl great!

Lefties...I can grind my teeth enough to tolerate.
But LAWYERS?!
C'mon Ron, the line has to drawn *somewhere*!

Sounds like a great time.
I'll see what I can do to make it this year.

Just made my reservations at the Extended Stay...Anyone who stays at the hotel just down from Creekside care to share what they pay??  Toma and I were thinking about heading that way this year, but Extended Stay works, too....Also, anyone who likes to golf -- we'll probably be trying to play at least 2 rounds again this year (Last year we played 1 on Wednesday and 2 on Thursday).  More details as the date approaches...
