Monthly Activities

On the second Friday of every month, we will hold a special monthly activity. This will add some change to our car meets. In the past, many people have complained about doing the same thing over and over again each week. This prompted the change to bi-weekly car meets. We also wanted something to do as a group other than just hanging out in the parking lot. There have been occasions where we went to a local bowling alley or hung out at the park on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone enjoyed these activities so we decided to incorporate them into our schedule of meets. Because we do not meet on the second Friday of the month, we chose that day to hold our monthly activity. Each month is different and new activities may arise in future semesters. On these nights, we will meet at our normal time and location - Lot 6 at 7:00 PM. Most people should arrive between 7:00 and 7:30. At 8:00, we will leave the parking lot and head to our activity.

 

Spring 2010 Monthly Activities

  • January 8:  No meet due to this day being prior to our first meet of the semester.
  • February 12:  Billiards in the Student Union.
  • March 12:  Movie at the Student Union
  • April 9:  Bowling off campus at a local bowling alley.

 

Billiards In The UNCC Student Union

This is a night when we will head over to the Student Union to shoot some pool and hang out at Norm's. There are four pool tables available. We will use two tables. If the tables are not yet available at 8:00 PM, we will hang out and wait until they are. When we leave Lot 6 at 8:00 PM, we will head to the Student Union. We will all park on the 6th (top) level of the Union Deck and head into the Union. This activity will be free to all paid members. If you have not paid your annual dues for the academic year, then you must pay $1 to participate in the activity.

 

Movies At The Student Union

The UNCC Student Union has a 210-seat movie theater. Admission is free to any student with a 49er Card. All other participants in this activity will need to pay the $2 ticket price. Available movie times at the Union are 4:30 PM, 7:30 PM, and 10:30 PM. Because 7:30 is too close to meet time (we also need to get tickets early since the movie starts at that time), we will attend the 10:30 showing. Tickets go on sale 30 minutes prior to the showing and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will get our tickets at 10:00 PM. From 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, we will either stay in Lot 6 and hang out or we will hang out in the Union and shoot pool, grab some food, or just relax. Until 10:00, there will not be a set schedule. When we leave for the Union, we will all park on the 6th (top) level of the Union Deck and head into the Union.

 

Bowling Off Campus

In the past, we have gone as a group to local bowling alleys to hang out and bowl. Various places include Dave & Buster's, AMF University Lanes, Northcross Lanes At The Lake, Strike City, etc. We will pick a location at least one week prior to the activity and will have a few lanes reserved for us. Each person will need to pay their own costs for shoes, games, and concessions. HPA will not pay for this activity. We will leave Lot 6 at 8:00 PM and head to the bowling alley. Bowling will be as long as we want until the bowling alley closes. Details will come on an individual basis as reservations are made with the bowling alley.
