Eric Smith,
That would be my son as I graduated from Verona in 1960.
I'm also considering Sept 20th and Oct 4th.
The final date will probably be determined by the invited presenters.
In the past, each presenter was given about 45 minutes.
The problem ? After the presentation there's usually a question and answer period that could go on for hours.
The program usually runs from 8:00 am until 12 noon, then lunch, then to the range and golf course with a tee off at between
1:00 and 1:30, followed by drinks and hors d oeuvres at 5:30-600, breaking up by about 7:30.
So, you can only have so many presenters.
If Ron Prichard can make it, with Cliff Moore the Superintendent also presenting, that leaves us with only two other presenters in the morning session.
In the past we've also had a panel that discussed a few topics and then fielded questions.
Again, we only have four (4) hours in the morning, so we're limited when it comes to the number of speakers and the time alloted to them.
Those who have attended previous get togethers can attest to their quality.
They're interesting, informative and fun.
Throw in good food, a great golf course, comraderie, drinks and discussions and you have a great day.
The key, in terms of the date and quality of the product is the availability of the presenters.
The club and especially the golf course won't disappoint anyone.
