Any AHPRA guys on here? I need the dates for Balls 15 quick. Sent
Mark an e-mail, but haven't heard back from him. Need to sign up for my
vacation this week, and don't have the dates!

HELP!

All help greatly appreciated.

James,

Checked the ahpra website www.ahpra.org date hasn't been posted yet. Based
on past dates my guess is Sept 15th-17th.

Mark or Robin said last year that BALLS would likely be pushed back two
weeks this year to late September.

Apparently XPRS had already staked a claim on our weekend with Brunos.
Getting reservations at Brunos hotel seems to be a primary factor in
scheduling.

Bruno seems to control which group has which weekend by virtue of owning
the only close hotel. I don't know why he doesn't check with groups that
historically have the same weekend before committing to another group.

XPRS is scheduled for Sept 22-24, just like it usually is. Doesn't look
like they stole 'your' weekend if you ask me!

I'm only repeating what Mark Clark or Robin Meredith told me at BALLS last
fall.

I am hoping that BALLS get moved as the beginning of September is really
crowded for me.
