Spring Into Boxing Gathering Set!

In springtime, a young boxer's fancy turns to . . . . . .
gatherings and the essential gathering of the spring is the Spring Into Boxing 2008 Gathering!

This year's location will be at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 2833 Main Street, Glastonbury, CT on May 10 from 1 to 5pm

Event hosts are MayEve, RTRW, Music Woman and Wild Rover.

The following is the official text submitted by Wild Rover:

A gathering will be held on May 10, 2008 in Glastonbury, Connecticut to celebrate the arrival of Spring, and with it more temperate New England weather that encourages more Letterboxing. The event will be sponsored by MayEve, RTRW, Music Woman and Wild Rover.

The original Spring gathering in 2005 was a drive that originated in Glastonbury, continued to Bushnell Park, and concluded at RTRW’s house in West Hartford. The Spring 2006 gathering christened the newly opened Glastonbury Cultural Center on the Connecticut River, followed by feasting at Luna’s Pizza. Despite the wonderful success of both events, a Spring gathering was not undertaken in 2007, but returns with vim and vigor for 2008.

The gathering will be held at the Knights of Columbus Hall at 2833 Main Street in Glastonbury, which is best accessed from Welles Road. Parking is ample in the lot behind St. Paul’s Church, which is adjacent to the K of C Hall. There is no fee and no requested donation for this gathering. There will be a raffle, but no raffle tickets will be sold. Astrii’s method of collecting stamp images from attendees for the raffle will be emulated at this gathering. Any donated raffle prizes will be greatly appreciated, but please do not feel at all obligated. Please bring a snack to share, as with most gatherings.

Several new letterboxes will be planted in the area, with clues available the night before or the morning of the gathering to encourage boxing in the area before the gathering. Tabletop boxes are welcome, and in the past several wonderful boxes debuted at the events because of the kindness of Donutz, Bandaid, Warrior Woman and many others. I am excited to report that Scarab has accepted Bookworm’s invitation for the Phineas Boch Traveling Circus to attend Spring 2008. And RTRW will once again be carving the event stamp, which is sure to be fantastic!

The gathering will begin at 1:00 P.M. and conclude at 5:00 P.M. A post-gathering feast is being planned at a nearby location, with more definite information to follow as the gathering date nears. The only downside of this gathering is that the size of the K of C hall restricts attendance to about 65 people, and if a larger venue is not booked soon there will be an RSVP list limited to about 65 people posted in the near future.

Hope to see you at the Sprint Into Boxing 2008 Gathering!!!

Thank You. --Wild Rover
