Just talked to RonC, the gathering this year will be July 22-24, Creekside Lanes, Winston-Salem, NC

Who's coming. Whole bunch of newbies out there that haven't had the pleasure of beating up on me.

Maybe the ball should go to the lowest hdcp score, it might help their game

Seriously a raffle wouldn't be a bad idea.

I was thinking of a raffle, but didn't know what to do with the extra monies....Maybe go towards a group dinner or something?? Or pick up a nicety for our gracious host??

mmike...message sent!

SrKegler...thanks for the info!

As for the raffle; in the words of a few great men (the guys from the Guinness commercials).....BRILLIANT!!!! I think that it would be a geat idea to raise a bit o money for whatever, maybe we can get SrKegler a hoverround chair! (I kid I kid)

I am checking with work on the dates, and hopefully I'll be up there with y'all.

I'm going to be in NC the weekend of the get together, but I don't know yet if my schedule will allow me to attend. I have a family reunion to attend on the Saturday, so if I can attend it will be on Sunday. On the ball to be given away, combine luck and skill. Put everyone's name in a hat (or sell chances and put them in the hat) and draw a name. The lucky bowler then has one ball to throw a strike for the win. If he doesn't win, his name goes back in the hat and another name is pulled for the chance to strike and win. -- JohnP

My average on the card is "N/A"!! We can always look them up at http://www.bowl.com. Bowling all those games might take some time though -- what about something like the Motel6 stuff?

SrKegler · « **Reply #38 on:** June 01, 2005, 11:53:52 AM »

Lot of good ideas coming out. The only one I didn't like was the raffle. I don't really want to start getting money involved in the gatherings.

Not to try and sway anyone, I like the 100% handicap idea, one thing we don't have to worry about in this group of people is sandbaggers. Maybe Ron could put out 3 shots for us, THS, US Open, and the ABC shot. Bowl 6 across 6. Personally, I think we can just take their word on what their average is as long as they have a BR ID.

Unless I'm mistaken, Ron doesn't open until Noon on Sundays. Things are really winding down by then and a lot of the participants have to leave early. I doubt if Thongprincess could stick around very long and still catch a flight back to Calif. The main event will have to be on Saturday to include as many people as possible.

Anyhow, keep the suggestions coming. It's your gathering, let's make it as much fun and enjoyable as possible.

I only meant a few dollars per person to help with some expenses, but we can skip it. I didn't want a bidding war. 100% handicap is fine for a gathering such as this, as long as Pchee isn't bowling.

I'd love to shoot on several different patterns like before. 2 games on 3 different pattens shouldn't take too long or be too much of a pain to set up. Making the tournament for bragging rights and pulling names out of a hat and striking for one of the Lane#1 prizes isn't a bad idea. If SrK gets a shot at the ball, I'm getting out the pool stick.

I was thinking of flying back on Monday rather than Sunday. Last year with it being Memorial Day it was nice to have the extra day. It didn't feel as rushed.

I am even willing to do the 100% hadcp with my 2004-2005 ave of 194. My high book this year was only 175, a year of rebuilding and new coaching. I am looking forward to this.

I would be able to get the time off from work, but the funds are ther problem!! Wish it were not so far, or someone was in Ca, and going. I met Ron at Nationals last year, but would still love to show off my Old and NEW Saws!!, all of which have Magic Carpet in them.
