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

Ron - I heard the last one was a blast and I heard something about a Harley, LOL

Is she still taking lessons?

If I get a chance to get out that way I would really like to.

Maybe the Mrs. would come too.

I can't wait to see  the tape.

Mar & June, Jul are filled for me.  Any other times would work out.

For those who couldn't make it last year, what a shame.  I learned more from 1 weekend with Ron than the previous 50 years of bowling.  As a coach Ron is unique.  Doesn't try to revamp your game, just uses what you have and corrects flaws little flaws that hinder your delivery.

you need a runway or something? You planning to take off??

Doc,
I could never express how great it would be for you to make it. Grab the Peach and fly out together.
The last I heard of the Harley it was headed to Ca. Something about living on the Peach
I plan to get the tapes out this week.....unless I am not happy with them yet...again. I won't stop till I get it right.

Well so far March, June and July are OUT!! I guess eliminating months is as good as picking one. I would not dream of planning a BR gathering without SrKegler
How many months in a year anyway?

Ron and others, since I havent made the trip from MA. to one of these yet, I think its time I did just that. I am pretty much open to whenever as for what weekend it will happen. Will this be a weekend long event?? I only need to know in advance enough to put in a request for vacation time at work. I really look forward to being able to make a trip down to get free coaching , er, I mean, to meet all of you!!

Just the oposite Ron,

Sr, seems to think I could do my approach on top of a quarter
IF the approaches are fast then I barely move, just ask Sr.
I may have to send you a tape for a good laugh, and so you would
know what to expect when we have the get together.

How about late April/Early May?

Acutally, whatever dates you guys decide on will be fine.  A day off for me is only a phone call away.

Bowl Expo is in late june/early july at the Las Vegas HIlton. I will be there for junior world team challenge. It's really far from some of you guys, but it would be cool to have some of the Br.com guys meet up for dinner and bowl a few games in town. What do you guys think?

What, no Harley?!?  I don't know if I'll be able to make it!    But seriously, folks . . .

As crazy as my schedule is, it would be best if you guys just decide when you can have it, and I'll see if it fits.  I'll do everything I can to make it out there again this year.  February and June appear to be the worst months for me.

I've probably regressed back to all my old bad habits since last time.    I'm ready for Ron to fix me again.

I don't think any month is out of the question for me.  I have little vacation to cover except the middle of summer and after Thanksgiving.  April hasn't been crossed off any lists yet.  As long as I don't have a conflict, I'll be there again.  Had a blast and learned a lot last time.  Just make sure to hide the pool sticks from SrK, or hire a good personal injury lawyer.

I would really like to attend if I can make it out there.  No months are bad for me and I can take off as much as needed.  Maybe the wife would like to make a little trip out east.

From what I read on here, it seems like May would be a great time of the year to have this little shindig.
