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

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

 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.

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.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

I fly out of LAX with a stopover in Chicago and I am scheduled to arrive at the Piedmont Triad Airport at 4:19PM Friday.  Hopefully this will not be like my flight into and out of San Jose this past weekend.  Both flights were delayed close to an hour  If all goes as scheduled, I should be able to get to the center by 6PM.  

My flight out is Monday at 12:50PM.  So count me in for anything Sunday.

I am looking forward to seeing those that were there last year and meeting the new people.
