Here's the latest. Thought I would try and consolidate everything down and find it in one place.

Ball Reviews / Bowl 4 Fun.com gathering July 22-24

Here is a Yahoo map of where Creekside Lanes is located.

The hotel I suggest is Extended Stay America. It is clean and cheap!
Use the Winston Salem / Hanes Mall location.
You can find it on www.extendedstayamerica.com for a map. It just one exit from the bowling center.

Wow, thanks Mike. Ask him if Schlemmer can attend. Tour is done for the year, might have some free time available.

Think we can get enough coming to have Ron shut the place down for us for the weekend??

I believe that might be pushing our luck just a little bit. Not a bad idea but I would say a little out in left field.

It has come up that when you fly now you can't check a bag more than 50lbs. That equals only 2 balls and not much else in the bag. If you go over by one pound they will charge you $50.

So if any of you are flying in and wish to ship your balls you can send them to this address.

Special thanks to Sr. Kegler for keeping up with all of this.
I will be on the west coast the two weeks before the gathering so my time for planning is very limitied.

Looking forward to seeing my old friends and meeting new ones!!!

We have a Scotch Doubles tournament every Friday night at Creekside starting at 8PM.

How many of you that are coming in on Friday would like to bowl that?

This is a man must bowl with a women thing and of course we are always short on women...so bring lots of gals with you.

It is handicap so bring some kind of average thingy with you if you wish to bowl. The entry is only $25 per couple so not a super big money thing...but a lot of fun.

I need a female partner (unless NC considers a back-up bowler as a female)

...so I got first dibs on any female that needs a sexy, young, wonderfully gifted, likes long walks on the beach, and reading poetry kinda bowler!!!

Seriously, I'm a decent bowler (will be bringing a 203 recap from last fall)...just ask SrKegler! I almost beat him a couple weeks ago

Ok guys, you heard Ron, bring women with you. Seems like there is a shortage in NC. Anyone remember Harley's phone number? Friday nite is their busy nite though, doubt if they could make it.

Just checking our list, MrsLoco and Thongprincess are the only 2 unattached women that are coming so far.

How about it JPRLane1. Got any that you can give the weekend off?

I think we still have Harley's number.

If I can talk the wife into it, we'll bowl Friday night. She doesn't have an average this year, but I doubt it would be much different than before (122-125). With the way I started bowling this summer, can I use that for my handicap?

mmike, if it gets to 30, it will be an unused thong

Ron, I am willing to bowl the Friday night tourney. I leave LAX at 12:30AM and arrive in Greensboro around 10AM. Even with delays, I should be there and ready to bowl at 8PM.

As for equipment, I am flying the same airlines as in March to Nationals and had no problem. I don't think they have changed anything. I'm only taking 4 balls, I want ot keep the excuse that I left the right equipment at home

What average? 2003-2004 194 (if I have to use that I pity the poor guy who gets me as a partner

) 2004-2005 175, I can get the verification for our association secretary if it hasn't been updated on Bowl.com yet.

Guys I am a lefty, but that's all I can admit to

Remember I AM a teacher

So tempting, but if I took part my wife would finally have enough
