2007 - 2008 BOWLING SURVEY

PURPOSE:  To gauge the interest in having a CAC Bowling League next season.

BACKGROUND:  The 2006 - 2007 CAC Bowling League was much smaller than in past years.  To help make the league bigger and better, we are giving this survey to find out a number of things, including: how often we should have bowling, should it be one consistent location or be spread out, what amount is too much to pay, etc. 

INFORMATION TO KNOW:

§ The cost for bowling in 2006-2007 was $10 (a real bargain).  In past years the cost was $12.  Different locations will cost different amounts of money.  Ex.  Playmor - $13, Great Valley $10, Noble Manor $12-13

§ Because of club schedule conflicts, bowling usually goes from September to March.

§ If bowling is held in different locations each week, the cost may be different each week. 

§ League members will still need to travel to each place each week if there is not a consistent location.

§ Different locations will mean less travel for someone each week. 

§ A consistent location means we may can have a Christmas party, roving locations negate that possibility.

§ We will need a commitment of at least 24 people to make the league viable.

§ The more people in the league, the more prizes and better prizes and the more fun for all.
