Can claim it is critical for team building & collarbration and personal development. Use up some of those unused allocated funds before EOY. :)

Guess Pat wasn't able to move it to a little earlier in the month and away from Thanksgiving.
 
I'm going to try and make it again this year. Had a good time and saw some great pool. I shoot clays and there is a nice place about 20 minutes away so that was fun also.

Did you shoot at Saltwater? Haven't shot there but it looks very generic. The guy with the pro shop has a nice shotgun selection, best in NE FL. I shoot up the road at JAX Clay Target Sports. There is also some nice courses at Bradford Sportsmen's too.

I was in Gainesville for a couple of days and shot at Bradford's then Saltwaters while in St Augustine. I did go into Woolley's and looked at and handled a couple of nice guns.

We should try to do another AZB tournament there if enough people are there at the right days. While it is around Thanksgiving, I may be able to sneak away to there then. I am sure someone knows enough folks there to get some tables reserved for this after the matches are over.
 
The Mosconi Cup will be in London this year, but the dates are not up yet.

I think the plan is to have the 14.1 before the 9-ball.
 
An AzB tournament would be fun. Not sure I could play in it, but it would be fun to see everyone and put faces to handles.

I'm game if enough users are interested.

A face-2-face, scam-free cue show would be cool to go along with it. Being able buy direct from seller with no worries or shipping would be cool.
 
Now that we've had a year at the location, we have a better idea what kind of space they have.

I don't see any reason that we couldn't do any of this. We could probably get the use of a couple tables if a tournament is decided on. We could also easily rent one of the rooms to do whatever we wanted in.
