    Why is everyone so depressingly agreeable?

    Don't know Rob.....a bigger question would be how will the Centres recoup their money if they elect to pay the Lane levy lump sum ? Its been suggested that at the start of the year they bill the bowlers the approximate membership fee based on previous years, but what if the bowlers refuse to...

    Why is everyone so depressingly agreeable?

    I think option 2 is unworkable. An increase of .25 cents a game a year (and this is every year) plus say .10 cents for increased centre running costs would raise prices to the extent that the average bowler will in all probability either drop one of his leagues, or else look for the nearest...

    There will be something to get excited about shortly when TBAs latest letter to the proprietors hits the mainstream bodies..... Don't ask me, ask your local Centre proprietor........ Actually, excited might not be the right word...........

    Before any of the above is even considered, TBA needs to address its main problem which is the ever shrinking membership base. This problem will continue until such time as the governing body admits to its mistake in de-regulating membership and takes a stance over this matter. To do this it...

    The prerequisites are a set of conditions required by the organising body. These are usually specified in the tender form that is sent out. They usually stipulate a minimum number of lanes and certain other requirements which may be laid down, for instance use of a tournament room, use of an...

    Another Bowl hits the dust????

    I never read this thread which is nearly 10 years old.... The info sounds very familiar though. I stopped bowling there when Grand Prix League started to decline, after that I only had contact trying to persuade management to participate in Regional events and To pass on information regarding...

    Another Bowl hits the dust????

    Don't know about the auction...... I'd love to see it re-opened under professional management. Most of us on the Gold Coast bowled there at one time or another. But I guess you can't re-create the past, most of the league bowlers relocated to either Tweed, Robina or Ashmore. Personally I believe...
