Now is the time that leagues plan their end-of-season banquets. It should be a time when league members get a chance to enjoy themselves and the company of their fellow league members outside of the lanes.Keep the banquet simple and leave all of the decision- making, rules changes and elections for the final week of the season or at a pre-season meeting next year.
