Goodbye party!

[GeorgeF]

To end my career I thought it was only fitting I throw some money over the bar and have some drinks with some friends (police tradition). I will be throwing 2 parties (combined with bowling tournaments) in the next few weeks. All bowlers and participants of the tournament are welcome to attend.

1st Party - Brunswick Australian Cup

Saturday night 01/12/07 @ 8.00pm. Upstairs in the function centre, $200 over the bar, first come first served basis. Finger food will be supplied as well.

2nd Party - Redcliffe City Open

Saturday afternoon 08/12/07 @ the conclusion of the squad (approx 3pm). $200 over the bar, first come first served basis. Finger food will be supplied as well.

Please come along and make this a memorable end to my career.

Thank you

George

Mate i'll be bowling then ,maybe you can run one down to me.

 

[GeorgeF]

Just to clarify my retirement plans (for the several people who have contacted me)

I will no longer be bowling league or tournaments from 17th of December onwards. I am though committed to bowling the youth challenge in Rockhampton in January as part of a 'demonstration/challenge'. Apart from that, no league, no tournaments, no bowling. I will continue to work for Qubica AMF as a consultant, this will done only on a job by job basis, more business related than bowling.

There comes a time in everyones life where you need to move on from your current environment, the time for me is now. I've been bowling for 26yrs and have achieved levels in the sport I never thought possible. I've traveled all around world and met some amazing people and made some life long friends.

I never thought sport I took up as a 6yr old would lead to such great things and play an important part in my life and career. It's been a great run but it's certainly time to move on. My 5yr old and I do athletics together and with children growing up so quick I want to spend as much time with family and friends as possible.

I'll still be around, feel free to contact me if you want to buy a house or would like some advice.

I'm looking forward to the 2 small gatherings I am putting on, should be a fitting way to end the dream.

Mate some would say more like a nightmare…

If I had known that a couple of cheap drink gatherings was all it was going to take for you to retire I would have passed the hat around long ago…

Best wishes in your new interests…Buy me a drink a tweed will you…:beerchug:

 

[JP]

Hi George,

Sorry to know your early retirement plan, and wish you can come back after you have a short break.

Best wishes,
JP

[krdavis]

Hay Homo - does this mean no more Vegas Trips ????

 

[GeorgeF]

Only thing I'll be going to Vegas for is poker, but that won't be one day soon.

Doug as you are the president and founder of 'Homos are Us' I thought you'd at least make an appearance.

George
Sorry to see you are giving the game away. The left side won't be the same anymore mate. We are all a bit poorer now you won't share the lanes with us anymore. The best of luck to you and your family for the future and maybe with a bit of luck we might see you back again in the seniors (just joking mate) cheers.
