Friday Night: Again this year we are planning a come and go fellowship time on Friday, February 15, 2008 beginning at 7:00 p.m. Please come by for a time of fellowship and refreshments. Also, we are planning a short officials meeting beginning at 8:00 p.m. We would like as much of the equipment as possible to be delivered / set-up on Friday evening. We will be using the Quiz Machine program in all rooms and having the equipment set-up beforehand will make the morning much smoother.

Officials: If you are interested in officiating, please contact Bill Horning at www.centralregionbq.org


Overnight Lodging: We strongly recommend coming in and staying Friday night, as quizzing begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and may not end until after 6:00 p.m. This can be a very long and tiring day for your quizzers.
