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.

Great, some new faces in addition to all the fine familiar ones.

  I'll try to hit up Ken from Let's Go Bowling for some more prizes.  Maybe since Ron was a guest on his show he'll kick in a little more.

 There's getting to be a number of us staying at the Extended Stay.  Maybe we should ask for a group discount.  This keeps up maybe I'll have to make next year's reservations before we leave.  

  Really, I can't say it enough.  There's no finer group of people you'll ever meet, the staff there treat us like family, (well, like family they actually like!)  and go out of their way to make us feel at home.  I had a little trepidation about what it was going to be like before we went to our first one, but after that experience you couldn't keep us away.  

  We'll also be there on the Thursday afternoon and we're truly looking forward to it.

Or at least if not a group rate, see if they'll sponsor the event.

I like the way you think, sir. OK, who gets to try and talk them into it?  We got any salesmen attending?

This place is automated.  Just holler and a young gal will hand deliver a drink for you.  Plus Geoff brews his own stuff for us to try out.

Bowling is thirsty work, and there's nice cold beer there to help cool down.  I don't know about anything else, we just drink beer or wine for the most part. I haven't had a chance to sample Geoff's efforts, and that's my fault entirely.  Maybe this year.

At least you're not a lefty lawyer.

That's just wrong, like a Buckeye dating a Wolverine.

Can anyone give me a little bit better idea what takes place and when? Such as, what's going to happen Thursday, July 24; Friday, July 25; and then Saturday, July 26?

We won't be able to come down for everything so I'm trying to see what fits our schedule best.

In general,
Thursday is for the early birds.  Not too many people will arrive early.
Friday is kind of a get to know you time.  A lot of talking and informal bowling.
Saturday is the Bragging Rights Tournament and dinner together, later is poker and pool at my house.
Sunday is more free time for bowling, maybe some 1 on 1 coaching time with Ron.

Nothing is set in stone, but that's been more or less how it's gone the last few years.
