St Louis Gathering???
« on: July 11, 2003, 01:34:36 AM »
Just wondering if the St Louis gathering is still a go.  I would like to make the trip and meet more of the BR gang.  There hasn't been anything about it in a while, so I'd like to verify it is a go before making flight reservations.

Sr. Kegler was heading this up, I think.
You know, the old guy's mind ain't what it used to be.

I hope it is still on, I am planning on going and look forward to finally bowling with him and not a half a house away.

Let me give you all the info I can.  I talked with OLI yesterday when we were shooting his tournament.  John Wonders is running it.  They are going to have 3 matches.  One at Dick Weber Lanes, maybe strike & spare for another one.  Forgot the 3d house.  Nothing will be going on across the river.  Won't even consider Fat Cats.

3 teams are coming from San Diego, 2 from Detroit.  St Louis is to provide 5 teams.  John is only looking for bowlers that are interested in Traveling and promoting the sport.  

I'll try and call him tomorrow and see if we can get a ball reviews team in.  Right now I would not recommend anyone make any reservations.

Just as soon as I can get some information, I'll post it for you.  Everything I've heard is 2d hand.

Sorry.

Don't let me down SrKegler, I actually got the warden to say we could go!
Of course, I had to agree to go with her to Orlando & Daytona at the end of this month.

Even if we don't get in the tournament, could we still have a gathering with just open bowling ? I don't know the area, so I don't know how many houses are around there.

Keep us informed.

We had a meeting yesterday and John is setting things up. I hope to meet Oli there also.  We didn't have a match for Tuesday morning and now that our flight leaves at 5 PM we are looking for one.  I'm hoping to meet and bowl with as many BRS possible while there.  I know we are scheduled to tour the Visionary plant, one of our sponsors and also we are suppose to visit the Bowling Hall of Fame.

Our day schedule is full but I hope to meet and bowl with others in the evening if possible.  Anyone else please contact John, Oli or SrKegler and they should be able to provide more accurate information.

V/R,
