I just got off the phone with Ron Clifton (MagicCarpet).  This years gathering will be held Jul 27-28-29.  Lanes will be available on the 26th for those of you that arrive earlier.

Address:

Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Blvd
Winston-Salem, NC

The hotel of choice seems to be the Extended Stay.  They have the best rates and easy access to the bowling alley.

When the date gets a little closer I'll check with the ball companies and see what freebies we can get from them.

Hope to see all of you there this year.

Toma...

  Twins experience is going pretty well now. It started rough as Josh needed
to stay in the NICU (neonatel intensive care unit) as he was breathing
challenged for awhile.... then both he and Sharon had to get through a
jaundice episode.... so what started off with lots of drama has settled into
a good daily routine. Sharon has been sleeping though the night for nearly
two months, Josh is teasing us with the occasional full night.

I am getting lots of baby time as I am on a 9-month sabbatical from work and
playing "Mr. Mom"

They reached 5 month a couple days ago. (In fact, as I type this they are
both napping - one in my lap, the other over my shoulder.... - All I can
reach at the moment is the computer keyboard.)

Ron Clifton's Bowling Tip Archive

Ron Clifton owns Creekside Lanes in Winston Salem, NC.  Every year for the last 4? years, he hosts a get together for all the Ballreviews people who feel like showing up.  You get to put some faces to the names, bowl with a bunch of great people, and get some coaching from an outstanding coach, and all it costs you is lineage which is always reasonable.  We bowl mostly on a house shot, but he sets up a bragging rights tournament that is played on several challenging conditions.  We go out to eat a few times together, and there are some extra curricular activities as well.  Toma/Nollster set up a golf outing last time, and I had poker, billiards, and homebrew tasting at my house.  Last year, we had donations from several ball companies that were very generous.  Ritchie from Lane#1 showed up personally and donated an entire case of balls.

I drove up twice from Alabama twice and had such a good time, that I moved here permanently.
