PADS 2024 Update and 2025 Planning

​Update from Walter Knecht Past President and PBC Board Director of BC Tournaments:

"Our PADS Charity Event, which many of you participated in during the last 2 weeks of April, by most accounts can be deemed successful. While the final $$ have not been tabulated it appears that nearly $60 k has been raised by the 22 communities that sponsored these PADS tourneys. And the majority of those communities (clubs etc) reported great success and a willingness to do it again. I have a lot of pictures and many written reports – all to be compiled and posted – a lot of innovation, creativity etc.

One big issue for us is a date for the ‘second annual’ event. April is not good. Summer would be better. With about 60 tournaments typically on our calendar, finding a clear weekend is not easy – something may get doubled up or a club may ask to choose an alternate day for their prized non-PADS event. We do need to get on the 2025 calendar early.

Given all that – what month / weekend would you suggest in 2025? Please refer to the PBC webpages for both 2023 and 2024 Tournament postings reference information (2025 coming soon).

I will be collecting your 2025 date suggestions till the end of May 2024.
​
Again – my thanks to all that participated so fully and I hope we can ‘rinse and repeat’!"
