As you may know by now, the Florida Regional does not have a social scheduled for it this year.
Well, we at team 1083 thought to do something about that. We're looking into an "unofficial" social. I stopped by a local bowling alley called Boardwalk Bowl today. They claim to be the biggest bowling alley east of the Mississippi and south of New Jersey, and I can see why. They have a HUGE facility. From what I gather, they have 48 lanes available for us to reserve at 9pm on Thursday if we want them. Of course, we could ge there sooner and hang out, but the lanes themselves wouldn't be ready 'til 9. One game with 5 people per lane should take about 45 min. After hanging out for a while, people should be able to get back to their hotels in plenty of time for their curfews.
Some key notes, it would cost each person $4.50 for one game and shoes. This place has a Pizza Hut, concession stands, and a deli with Boar's Head meat. They have a very large arcade with 3 air hockey tables. They have 17 pool tables. They even have a sports bar in there for the 21+ crowd. And I heard that their wings are amazing.
To qualify for that group rate, we would need at least 15 people who want to bowl. (Heck, SPAM would more than account for that alone ;-)
What I need from you is some official word from your team whether you would be interested and how many would want to BOWL. People who don't want to bowl can still come and hang out, but we need an accurate count of bowlers to reserve the right number of lanes.
RSVP by emailing to
pelln@ocps.k12.fl.us and we'll get back to you with directions and such.
So? Does this idea sound like a winner?
