Heard from a reliable source tonite of plans to build another new centre in the metro area. Malaga is touted as the new spot next to the almost completed ice rink. Probably privately run and by whom and how many lanes well too early to tell. Im sure we all know soon enuff. Baron

I see the Rachuig boffins in their infinite wisdom have enforced the little known rule where if a team finishes 600 pins behind the leaders they are entitled to a one game roll off to give them an extra chance of claiming the title. Absolute stroke of genius!! Baron ps Now I know how Brendan...

Finally got a chance to get a peak at Morley's new lanes and I gotta say I'm impressed. As mentioned in the Junior Masters thread they have also replaced the ball returns and overhead screens which look great. The lanes do sound a bit drummy tho at impact as they had to replace all of the old...

Well done to Paul for a 300 (his first I think) in game 5 of the Hammer Qld Seniors Classic this weekend. Great effort to my ATBSO teammate of last year and pretty hard to back up from such a high but has made the cut and is still in the hunt. All the best for the rest of the tourny. Baron

Just wondering what happened to the chat room. Has it been shut down or am I looking in the wrong place? Baron

Last Tuesday nite at Cannington in the Tuesday Fives dazzling Daryl Gould started with a great game of 290 on lanes 1 and 2. For his effort I think he gets a watch compliments of AMF. Also heard that Steve Hart bowled a 299 on lanes 23 and 24 at Morley on Thursday nite and with the Perth Cup...

Hot start indeed and I'm not talking about just the bowling. The weather in Adelaide was unbelievable with 3 days in the 40's with Sunday an amazing 44.1 in fact theres talking of changing the name to "Adel-Hades"it was that warm. From a WA point of view we are a happy bunch of campers with only...

Having just re-landscaped the back garden I thought it needed something else. I decided to have another go at the water feature idea which was basically a large blue ceramic pot filled with river rocks with a pump, light and spout.Looked ok I guess but it still lacked something. Then I spotted...

Well after bowling for 20 something years I thought I had seen pretty much every leave possible. That was until last Thursday night.....Morley, me ol' mate Dennis Gilbert left a horrible 5,6,7,9,10 and actually had to have it restood. Speaking to the mechanic afterwards he couldnt believe it...

Well with a combination of slightly more oil and a set of brand new pins Xmas came early tonite at Morley. After the 5 and 10 fell late to leave the 7 in the second frame Willie Fox only had to wait another 2 frames to leave the ultimate crowd pleaser. On another issue I had the pleasure of...

(1) COLIN FIELDER (Kal) 2 lane knee slide chain pull on a cold 8-10 ...... classic! (2) STEVE CARTER (Ghosts) First frame, first ball put it in the left hand gutter, spared then the next 8. He is now known as Steve Kernutt. (3) STEVE HART (R-a-P) Watching Harty for 3 days with his new...

Well its that time of year again and I'm expecting the next month or so to be once again pretty full on. Gold Cup is probably my favourite tournament of the year and the weeks leading up to it are always a lot of fun as each team tries to gain the mental edge heading in to the tournament. This...

THE RACHUIG FLOCK [1] The FRAWLEY FALCON Sitting in its nest perched high in the Rachuig tree this Bird of Prey is perhaps the most feared by other members of the flock. A large and widely travelled bird migrating to all parts of the globe in search of further conquests. Often seen with its...

I know that they are a dying breed nowadays but back in the 80's the pinball area of a bowling centre was a very popular place indeed. My favourite machines were:- Pinball...had to be Black Knight first multiball I think and with the handy magna-save on either side. Video.... This is a tough...

Just a little reminder to everyone that this years Perth Cup is only weeks away and with an enhanced prize fund and new format this year squads are expected to fill quickly. My spies tell me that the cut will be top 16 this year with $3000 for 1st and 16th recieving around $600. (Shane I hope...

"THE FUBAR FAMILY" King FUBAR:(Dwarfus-Moustachus) Head of the FUBAR clan. A fiesty little character who when threatened curls the ends of a thick black furry crop of hair just under its snout exposing gnashing fangs to ward off predators. Treat with respect. FUBAR Stax: (Computerus-Fubarus)...

Just heard on the grapevine King FUBAR has been seen bowling at ATBSO events and may be trying out for their State Side. Hmmmm may have to have a crack myself. If anyone has a ATBSO calendar please let me know. Baron

Well every other state has recorded their best bowlers past and present so I reckon its time to show off some our talent from the last 20 years or so. Well thats how long I have been around so here goes. Now my criteria is you must have bowled both Shield and Rachuig and must of course been...

Just want to say what a great performance from our Rachuig sides in Canberra this week. It just goes to show what this tournament can do to a bowlers confidence regardless of how their form is leading up to the big event. In other words it can make you or break you and I reckon our sides stood...

Tip one: Oiling the lanes Always one of my pet hates I hated oiling the lanes especially on a Sunday morning with a raging hang-over and why anyone would want to bowl league on a Sunday I will never know. There had to be an easier way so eventually I would just push the Century (or worse the...

Well with the first test safely stowed away in the cricket bag it didnt take long for the jokes to appear. Here's just a couple that I've heard of late: What is the easiest job in the English cricket team? A: Cleaning the red marks off their bats. Q: Whats the definition off an English...

Well with the Gold Cup not too far away now the mind games have already started. And with the Rachuig side being a little stronger this year MM cant help himself giving me little reminders of FUBAR's chances this year whenever he gets the chance. So I thought I would let everyone know how FUBAR...
