I just got off the phone with Ron Clifton (MagicCarpet). This years gathering will be held Jul 27-28-29. Lanes will be available on the 26th for those of you that arrive earlier.

Address:

Creekside Lanes
1450 Trademart Blvd
Winston-Salem, NC

The hotel of choice seems to be the Extended Stay. They have the best rates and easy access to the bowling alley.

When the date gets a little closer I'll check with the ball companies and see what freebies we can get from them.

Hope to see all of you there this year.

See you guys there.

The weather doesn't look good for our golf outings. It's been raining off and on all evening and there's plenty more in the forecast for the next few days. Toma and Nollster are playing tomorrow afternoon and Thursday morning. I may let the weather dictate which day(s) I join them.

Anyone who gets into town Thursday afternoon can come to my PBA experience league (Viper) if they want. After watching me suffer, there is always plenty of time afterwards to give them a shot. I would especially like someone in another PBA league to give them a try. Our scores seem lower than many report here. I'd like to see if we don't have many talented bowlers or if the shot is tougher than average.

Hey guys I have a bit of a problem here. I sprained my ankle last night during tennis and sprained it pretty bad. I was suppose to have my PBA league tonight Its not till 6:30 so i am hoping to give it a shot. Its not my slide ankle but it hurts to walk around at this point. I am off work rest of the week so hopefully I can rest it enough to make it up there saturday. I would say even if I can't bowl i woould come hang out, the only problem is my car has a clutch and just drving home from tennis last night wasn't the least bit fun. I hope more than anything to make it i will keep everyone updated.

I love the gathering every year.

This year things are different...REALLY shouldn't go...

But I'm looking for an excuse to stop down for a day or afternoon.

I have this garage I'm trying to clear out....

A couple of NIB balls and righty single drills

Now just maybe if I can convince myself I need to deliver to the gathering....hmmmm...

REgards,

Well so far so bad, i wasn't able to bowl in my PBA league tonight, I tried a few shots in practice and just couldn't make it work. Hopefully rest today and tomorrow and maybe I can bowl saturday or at least make it up. It mostly interstate for me so I wouldn't have to shift too much. I was really looking forward to bowling and unveiling the new ball speed. Hopefully I can but if not there is always next year.

If it is like today, some were there as early as 10AM. I got there about 11:30AM, I'll probably be one of the earlier ones tomorrow.

quote:
Just wanted to say thanks to Ron and all the staff at Creekside for being such excellent hosts! Everything went smoothly on "Ron Time".

100% Ditto. For those of you who don't know what "Ron Time" is, you'll just need to show up at the gathering next year to find out. We had a good time. Even my wife, who admittedly enjoys watching bowling but not participating, got into the action and enjoyed herself immensely. What did you people do to her? As a side note, she finished 2nd in the bragging rights tournament while I finished 2nd last. Luckily, she's been merciful so far.

This having been my first gathering, I was a little worried about meeting everyone else. I've been to gatherings of online communities for other reasons before and have had bad experiences. For any of you who are considering going to a gathering, let me tell you, this is a fun bunch of people to be around. I think I forgot we're talking about bowlers here, the most down-to-earth people out there. For everyone whom we met, we're glad we did.

The only problems were not having enough time to spend with everyone, missing some people that couldn't make the trip, and cutting the annual tournament short a game. For some reason, people wanted to eat instead of bowl. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that concept.

We're already looking forward to next year. Ron, Strider, everyone else, let us know if there's anything we can do to pitch in and help organize, promote, or what have you, for next year.
