St Louis Gathering is on
« on: July 17, 2003, 10:27:19 AM »
I just received word from John Wonders of Visionary.  We can field 2 teams of Ball Reviews members.

There still is not a schedule available, will post that just as soon as we receive one.

The San Diego Ambassadors will arrive Sat, Aug 30 and will leave the eve of Sep 2.

John wants our teams to have a composite average of around 196-206.  He would also like to have people that will be willing to go to San Diego next year.

Right now there are three matches scheduled, Dick Weber Lanes, Strike & Spare, and North Oaks.  Another match will possibly be set up for Sep 2.

Here’s what I would like from you guys/gals.

I realize some of you can attend one day, some can be here only two, some for all the days.  Let me know the days you can attend and your average, I will fill out teams from that.

I only have about a month to set this up. If you sign up please do everything in your power to attend.  Some times it’s difficult to find last minute replacements.

I'll be there, but bowing for San Diego.  Our plane leaves 5 o'clock Tuesday night and we are trying to get a match Tuesday morning, possible late morning after breakfast.  But John and Archie are handling things extremely well and I don't want to interfere with their plans.  But please come out and say hello even if you don't bowl.

Okay, Sr.Kegler keeps sending this to me.
I think he is baiting me for something and it ain't gonna be pretty!

I can make it and the wife said okay to San Diego next year.
But, I only booked 161 last winter.
What are the chances of finding someone who averages 240 to make up for my lack of talent ?

How many on a team ?

Need more info!(And alot more talent!)

Question- Are the BR teams to be with bowlers from the St Louis area?  If it doesn't matter and I can make travel arrangements, I may be interested.

I'm your loyal Visionary bowler.  Like TP said, do you have to be from the MS area?  If not I will try to juggle my schedule around and be there.

Oops sorry had a long day.
Don't let my girlfriend know I messed that one up.
She is from MO and I just came from there last week.

I still hope Oli is working with John in regards to setting everything up and since I don't see John on here much, maybe Oli can talk to John about out of town BR bowlers participating.  The thing the San Diego Traveling Ambassadors and the Detroit Ambassadors to bowling is trying to do is promote bowling, meeting new people and sharing a lot of stories and ideas bowling bowling past, present and future.  I hope that things can be worked out for all that want to participate, but I am not on the planning committee so maybe Oli can find out for us.

Hi Guys,
  John is leading this train so I have stepped back.  Here is what I know.  SrKegler is putting together 2 teams which can be made up of BR bowlers.  The average is a composite. So, 157 average bowlers can bowl.  This is about meeting people and promote the sport.  DO NOT COUNT YOURSELF OUT!  Just get with SrKegler and he will balance the teams out. I do not have a schedule of events to provide but I will update as soon as I know. The teams look like this.

2 SrKegler teams
1 OLI Pro Shop
1 Bowling Illinois News
1 John Wonder Visionary

This is not win or lose thing.  This is fully about Sportsmanship, Friendship and Promotion of the sport that we love.

Any schedule of events yet?  

On Edit, let me clarify the question.  I recall there will be matches on Sunday and Monday, are there any times set for these?  I won't be able to do any of the Monday, since I will be home preparing to teach the new crop of 5th graders on Tuesday.

Thanks Nic, it sure would help.
I need to know also so I can make plans for visiting my sister.
Unless she heads up here that weekend.

We are driving down Friday night and driving home Monday.
Wonder if Sweetness(Sr. Kegler) would know ?!
