GUS MACKER PULLS OUT OF LONDON

Gus Macker says Goodbye To London

Yet another blow to London as the organizer of the Gus Macker Basketball Tournament pulls the plug after 16 years.

The decision was personal according to Clyde Adkin."It's just time. It's too much for me to do it every year. It's pretty tough,"
The tournament which hosted over 1600 Teams at one time only had 450 last year and volunteers have also declined.

Adkin has offered his services if someone would like to step in and take over saying he would work them.

Hopefully someone will step up and save one of the few summer events left in the Forest City.
If things keep going they way they are London will lose their Tourists completely.
Mayor DeCicco better start looking into all this event dropping because soon nobody will have reason to come to London.
