I'd like to put together a mini-gathering in Florida for our members and friends.  Last year we went to one at Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando with Star from England and his wife Mandy.  SrKegler and Alakazam and their wives were also in attendance and we had a lot of fun.  There were others slated to show, but for various reasons couldn't make it; it happens, no big deal.  Unfortunately Star and Mandy can't make it over to our side of the pond this year, so we'll have to do it ourselves.

  For us it'd be ideal if people wanted to come down to South Florida to bowl, but I realize that's highly unlikely, so how about something in the Orlando or the Tampa areas?  It'd be a lot more centrally located and the drive wouldn't be too bad for any of us.  And of course all you bowlers living in the area we decide on would find it exceptionally convenient.  As for dates, how about some Saturday in late September or early October to give everybody a chance to arrange their schedules accordingly?  

  If anyone has an "in" or a relationship with a center in the areas mentioned and could help in scheduling that'd be really great.  If we're really nice to them maybe we could get Ken and Ed from the Let's Go Bowling Show to show up.  

  Ok, I've put it out there.  Who's interested?

Kiall, we're actually sort of being forced to go to Sparez Davie already because we can't find another league on Sun nights.  Holiday Springs is cheap, that's why we go there to practice.  They've picked up the Tuesday DC Classic league that used to be at Tamarac, so now we need to pick another night to practice.  Tamarac doesn't seem too interested in keeping their league bowlers and their service is spotty at best.  If we could bowl another night we'd probably be at Brunswick Margate, but work schedules, etc. are in the way.

@#$% it, Dude, let's go bowling.

Just a little more than a week left.  Looks like we should have around 15-20 people there.

Hope some more of the locals can make it.  Spread the word around during league this week.  Doesn't have to be only BR members, they can always join this site later.

We'll be getting into town the evening before and leaving Sun. morning.  We're looking forward to seeing everyone and bowling our butts off.  Or at least smaller.  See you there!
