Is it time for another BR gathering?
« on: January 13, 2004, 06:52:08 PM »
I checked the post office and all the pictures are down so I think it is safe for the Ballreviews chatters to return to Winston Salem.
If you guys are interested we need to start working on a date. It looks like I will have a busy year this year coaching on the road so I need to get a BR gathering on the calendar. Let's start by everyone interested in attending post a MONTH ONLY...then we can narrow it down. We want to pick a date that the most people can live with. Right now JUNE is already out. I am too booked up that month.

Also let me know if you have any special events you would like to do.
I will offer free coaching to all that are interested. I will also buy the first beer
I am sure we have a lot of new members on the board that were not around for the last gathering. So those of you that were here last time may want to post if you have a good time or not.

This would be at Creekside Lanes in Winston Salem, North Carolina
Where bowling only cost $1.50 a game and the coaching is free....for that weekend

TP what kind of prices did you get for the airfare?  I am in the process of planning a road trip with my daughter and a family vacation as well.  If anything is left over I will be able to get something going for that time.

Doc, I went with United for $310.90.  I went to Orbitz and then directly to the United site.  I also checked American and Delta, the $310.90 was the best for the times I could fly.  

Southwest flies into Raleigh Durham, about a 2 hr drive if I recall.  The fare was under $300, but I didn't want the drive.  I think Pchee found cheaper flights out of your area than I could find out of LA last year. I think he flew into Charlotte, a bit of a drive also.

I hope you can make it.  It'd be nice to see you and the family again.

He11 Doc, just bring along the elixer.  There'll be enough guys there to recoup your expenses.  If things are real tight, just send the wife out.  Last year Pchee told me about this place that was looking for part time help.  Pay wasn't too great but the tips were awesome.

Sr. I am sure the wife could make some great tips off of you since you are a dirty old man.

I wonder if the Airlines would allow me to bring the Elixir on board.

You could always ship it to Ron or to the bowling alley before you leave.

I would say here.

Everyone that has been talking here more than likely
has the notification selected for this post, so they would
get the notification of a new post.
