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.

Strider forgot to mention the Scotch Doubles we can join in on Fri night.

The Bragging Rights Tournament is generally in the afternoon.  That is kind of the Main Event followed, as Strider said, by a group dinner.  If you can make it to only some of The Gathering, Saturday is the time to be there.

If you are a golfer, Toma and Nollster set that up for at least Thursday.

As Kev3inp said there is Scotch Doubles Friday night at about 8PM.  Whoever is there during the day generally goes to dinner together and returns for the Scotch Doubles.  This is a regular happening at the center.  The biggest problem is finding the females.  Us womins (Ron's lingo) double up so the men all have a partner.  Sometimes it is a good thing, sometimes not so good - just ask Toma about that one

Over the years the Thursday group has grown and so has the Sunday.  Last year I alsmost didn't get to work with Ron Sunday due to the number of people who stuck around.

No matter when you join us, you will find the people who attend are great and Ron, Karen, and the staff at Creekside are the best!  You will not be disappointed.

Just a quick update on the Scotch Doubles Tournament.

Do to schedule at the center the sign in for the tournament is from 6:30 - 7:30 pm and the tournament starts at 7:30.

We have about 20-30 teams that show up on a regular basis and as TP has pointed out, we are always looking for women.

It looks like either we have to get off the lanes earlier to get in dinner before the Scotch Doubles, eat at the center, or dine after the tourney.

What I want to know is what happened to all the women in NC!!!

When I was stationed at Bragg in the 60s, we had to fight them off with a stick.

I'm sure it will take a cattle prod to accomplish that task with some bowlers

Have we got any "celebrities" attending this year (other than Ron, of course)?

It has been way too long since we've heard from you.  Glad to see you are still around.  Are you going to make an appearance this year?  It will be great to see you again!

Hopefully if i'm recovered from my foot surgery by then and the doctor will let me bowl I will make it this year. If not it's already on my "things to do" list for next year.

Good to hear from you Willy!

Stormed1, even if your foot isn't healed, if you're not too far away, you can always show up to put some faces to the names.  Actually I get my heel looked at Monday.  I'm hoping it's nothing serious, but I've had a lot of pain for several months.

Bad weather Saturday, so I bowled in a tournament instead.  A little chilly for brewing today, plus got a late start with the time change.  Hopefully brewing a Saison Dupont clone next Saturday.

Anyone bringing someone new this year?

I've talked to my brother and nephews about making the trip with us.  He doesn't actually post here, but he likes to drink, bowl, and golf (pretty much in that order).
