North Jersey Bowling, Volleyball, Tennis And More (BVT)

Trying something different this time, Saturday afternoon date and in the window for day passes! So if you are available and feel like staying longer, or coming closer to the middle or end, it's more flexible, easier to change between tables and play with more people and less time is spent counting hours, etc. We'll see how this pans out going forward.

Meeting Point:
Outside of the building; After 5-10 minutes: You can meet us upstairs at the pool tables. **Please look for the group as the staff do not keep up with the group***
*** Price:
Photo of the day passes pricing is posted, however if you only want to stay a short while and would rather pay less, the price is $6.50 per hour per person if you have 4 players at your table. However, the final price is based on the total amount of minutes played. At the end of the hour, the table amount will be split per person. Each table paying this way should have a table leader, this person will collect the money of players at their table and will pay for the table on one card. 3-4 table leaders will be needed, volunteering for this is encouraged

Bringing cash is highly encouraged to pay your portion to your table leader

Parking: street parking is available however it may be hard to find close to the venue. There are side streets before the town proper, but a good option is the nearby ANT bookstore which has a lot which should be okay to use.

This location has food & drinks available for purchase.

*** Expectations**:
Pool cues are available at the location, expect mid to low lighting. If you come after 7:15pm, look for the Meetup group upstairs.
** What if I'm a beginner or only want to play with people at a similar level?*
Tables will be divided between beginners, intermediate players, and advanced. However, this depends on how many types of players come, so it will be divided as best as possibly available. If you would like game rules, please speak with Marc.** Marc is also available to answer questions including how to hold the cue, stances, etc.**
*** Is anyone at Clifton Billiards after the event is over?
Afterward, most go home or go to a local bar. If you'd like to hang out after, definitely speak with members to see if they want to do something after.
*** Can I switch tables?**
Yes, but it does make it easier if you stay at your table. If you switch tables, pay the amount of time you were at that table. Example, if you were at able A for an hour, pay the hour to the table A leader. If you go table B for two hours, pay your two hours to the table B leader. At the end, the table leader is taking the payments for the total amount of time at that table.
*** How do I get balls for the table and how many people do I tell staff that I have?*
One person per table gives their ID to the staff in order to check out balls. Again, the price for 4 people is about $6.50. If you have more or less, it slightly changes. So it just depends on how many people are at your table. It may be better to mention that you have more people esp if you are starting with 4 or 5 people.
*** I feel like people aren't trying to be my friend.*
*Please remember that different people have different goals. Some may come to just play billiards, others may be there to meet new people or do something social, and some may be there to make long term friends. Find people that match your goals or be ok with others that may not.

Join us for an hour or two of roller skating indoors at the Florham Park Roller Rink, 192 Ridgedale Ave. No experience is needed. All you have to do is show up! Come anytime. Open skate is tentatively scheduled from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.

The cost is $16 per person, unless you happen to have your own skates. Then, it's $10! You walk inside, pay at the window on your own, and then you'll see a growing group of people around one of the first sets of tables likely between 12:50 and 1:20 p.m. Some parking is available on site.

If looking to learn more, here's the website link for the roller rink -> www.myrink.com.

*** We will likely hang out after skating at the Florham Park Diner, 182 Ridgedale Ave. Feel free to post your ideas below in the comments section. Last time, we went to a place called Recess, a bar with pool tables, shuffleboard, a dart board and video games in Parsippany, thanks to a suggestion from Nigel. ***
