I tried to mail off line, but message came back to me.



Hi to Kriss Bliss,

I saw this message on clayart in March and would love to hear more details
about managing an event involving 2,346 bowls!

I'm running my 7th EB event this year. Last year we had 800 people and I'm
wondering if we need to do more than one day or more than one venue to make
it any larger.

Thanks,

Marty Morgan

like to get on our band wagon.
