Mistagear said "Bowling in its current form can be personally satisfying, I'll relate this to motor racing so bowlers might understand whyI say bowling is boring for nearly every person watching and lacks something other sports have. My experience watching league bowlers, many of them also have...

Great post, how do u promote something that people do not know most likely exists..It's not in the papers, nor on TV, nor on internet news feeds!!?!?!... I guess regarding the endless and tiresome moaning re bowling (which a lot is justified) is due to people witnessing the demise of something...

In any suburb you have a small,small percentage of troubled teens. It has nothing to do with your postcode! Frankston does have a poor reputation (although it is improving), most of it is misfounded, as Frankston is a large "small city" suburb, and does bring in many people from other suburbs...

Yes $50,000, thanks Toon!! Wchester, obviously you're not an accountant either ;) .. Toon and Jim, good replies.. At present we have the AMF mid dec-Jan $10 for 3 games deal , good value but it is for such a short period of time.. We have 4 games for $18 AMF special currently, reasonable I...

There are many options that we can try in regards to memberships, but certainly if u look at an average centre, lets just say they have 500 league bowlers paying $20 a week over a year ($10,000 * 45 weeks = $450,000 per annum), now only a small percentage play more than once a week, so introduce...

I discovered golf 6 months ago, I can play up to 6 days a week at a local public course for $900 pear year (we have 3 public courses within a 20 min drive from my home). There are also some private courses that are around $2500, again,u can play as often as u like.. Tossing up where to spend my...

Hey bradstar, appreciate your input, but Your'e banned!!! lol:D

Hi, Just wondering if u sell GRIPLOC system, and if so what is the cost? Also postage costs?

I guess it's the complete complacency that drives me nuts with AMF, and the fact that anyone of us who bothers to bowl and visit bowling forums, can see and suggest several small ways for a centre to improve. Some of these suggestions are really so obvious and simple to implement in beggars...

It's pathetic!! I just began playing golf, have grabbed a couple of lessons over the last couple of months, played a few rounds and like the feeling of self improvement... You would think that if this is the case with AMF Roysa, then they have missed the boat with this one, and simply don't...

Ok 3 things, I can think of 100, some from a centre's perspective, others solely from a bowlers.. Anyway heres my take: 1. Better promotion of (league and tournament) bowling across all forms of media, local newspapers,Tv,internet. League bowling is such a great product..I wonder how much a...

Weber has snuck his nose into 4th

Belmo leading, 2 games left, Fagan right on his heels.

I'm moving to Lismore!! Great idea... I struggle to find the money at times to bowl perhaps that little bit extra for practise..Even though I have been bowling 2 league a week for a few years now. Love to practise half an hour every day.. You are on a good wicket there mate..

Unbelievable really... Loving it... 3 titles in a fortnight.. Best part, and its something I can't wait to see is the Belmo and Rash final... I'm excited just thinking about it!! I wonder whether we'll see any nasty little glances at one another..
