Ball Reviews Gathering in North Carolina

I am hosting a Ball Reviews Gathering at my center in Winston Salem, North Carolina.
The date is May 28th 29th 30th.

The bowling center is:
 Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Blvd
Winston-Salem, NC 27127

Here is a Yahoo map link you can click on to make it easy to find the bowling center.

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?name=&ed=xelZFep_0Tp3I5uVt4vmVP_gvXmvdEZLAAZBo3wJj4MTfktKKm.Edy2zo9qV7EH0jReCcT1vZL5qXU9._GxmcxUI7lOfy4pjZbBw_4ja4zMHLLUF3kK6&csz=Winston+Salem%2C+NC+27127-5646&desc=&mag=9&ds=g&state=NC&uzip=&country=us&BFClick=&BFKey=&resize=s

The airport to fly into is Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, NC. The official designation GSO for websites that want the airport code.
This is a nice small airport that is only 20 mins. From the bowling center.

A good clean but CHEAP hotel near the center is:
Extended Stay America The Winston-Salem - Hanes Mall Blvd. location
http://reservations.extstay.com/extstay/dsprop.nsf/8149dd9bc61d30f6852568ea003f92ca/e226fd77314b0d5b852565710083585a?OpenDocument

 Current rate $45 per night. For a single. I think a double is $10 more per night

Rates are based on single occupancy. All rates are subject to change without notice and are based on arrival date, length of stay and room type. Taxes are not included.

Directions From Airport to the hotel:
From the airport (Piedmont Triad Int'l Airport), travel west on Airport Pkwy./Bryan Blvd. approximately 1 mile. Travel south on Hwy 68 for approximately 2 miles. Take I-40 West and travel approximately 20 miles. Take Exit 189 (Stratford Rd.). Turn right onto Stratford Rd. and travel approximately 100 yards. Turn left onto Hampton Inn Ct. Extended Stay America will be on the right.
Hotel address:
1995 Hampton Inn Ct.
Winston-Salem, NC 27103
Telephone: (336) 768-0075
Fax: (336) 768-7225
Miles From Piedmont Triad International Airport: 23

I did this about a year ago and the turn out was great with Ball Reviews posters coming from across the Country.
I know that new posters join the Ball Reviews forum every day and some of them may not know me.
I am a nationally known bowling coach and I get big bucks for making bad bowlers better and good bowlers great!  
While this gathering is not a bowling camp I am offering some free coaching time to everyone that wants it. You can check out my website at www.bowl4fun.com

The gathering is about meeting the posters and having fun. We will have a handicap "bragging rights" tournament on a PBA pattern or Sport Shot.

The largest mall in the state is near by and Winston Salem is the home of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and we will be eating while they are still HOT.

If any of you are NASCAR fans we will be about 15 miles from Richard Childress Racing  http://www.rcrracing.com/Home/home.asp

If this post needs more info or you have any questions just post them here and I will answer. Lots of people may have the same question.
Please post here if you plan to attend.

I would also like some feedback on how many of you would like to buy an event t-shirt. If I have enough interest I can have them made.

I'm sure you saw most of the names from the other post, but my wife and I will be there again.  I had a great time and learned a lot last time.  I'd probably buy a T-shirt.

Do you still have Harley's number?  

Have SrKegler's pool stick and the Krispy Kreme hat ready.

Come on people, you don't want to miss this.

Reservations made and am looking forward to being able to spend a bit more time than last year.  Count me in for a t-shirt.

Too far to drive (2 1/2 days) and can't fly because of heart condition. Especially after major lung surgery last summer.

For those who went last time and stayed at the Extented Stay, be on the lookout for a $20 coupon good on your next visit.
