Another week in the life and times of Ocala bowlers has passed.
Due to not having a quorum the Ocala Men’s 600 Club was not able to hold their annual meeting and election of officers. The Club Championship Tournament is being held on Saturday, October 13, 2007, at AMF East at 1:00 p.m. The turn out is small. Out of a possible 150 individuals who are eligible to participate only 49 signed up to bowl. Will advise who the Club Champion is next week. More information about the rescheduling of the annual meeting will be forthcoming.
Seems that bowling in general is down all over. Leagues lost bowlers and whole teams; people that bowled in more than one league have cut back. There are many factors to consider when looking at the decline in bowlers: cost of bowling; cost of food at the center; cost of gas to get to the center and the inconsistent conditions that the bowlers face each week. There is talk of a recession coming - not sure how much more of an impact it can have on bowling in Ocala.

Reminder that the Northeast Bowling Conference Tournament entry forms are available. The tournament will be held at AMF Ocala on November 10-11 and 17-18. For more information you can contact Debbie Whitten 694-3373 or Jerry Abrams 625-1133.
The last of the tweaking and putzzing is almost complete and the web site will be unveiled. Information should be available by next week.
Not much else on the home front this week. I know that I keep putting reminders about deadlines and tournaments but I want to make sure that the information is out there and hopefully we will not hear comments such as "I didn’t know about that!!" All we can do keep trying. Between the blog and the new web site hopefully the bowlers will be able to find all the information they need to stay current with what’s going on around the area, the state and nationally.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
If you don’t see something you think should be included please let me know. If you see things that you do not feel are necessary also let me know so that it can be replaced with something you want or dropped totally.
Till next week.
