That is very sad news. I first met Vic in 1973 when competing in the South Pacific Classic which was bowled at Bankstown that year. My wife Sue and I were at Sydney airport and were looking for a cab to Bankstown when these two guys in gold Australian Tenpin blazers over heard us talking to the...

So sorry to learn of Ruth's passing. My family became good friends with Ruth when she was manager of Mornington Ten Bowl in Hobart during the mid to late 80's. A generous lady and a legend of our sport. RIP Ruth.

Congratulations to Andrew on a great 300 last night in Wellington League at Moonah Bowl. Andrew bowls just 3 games a week in league as he now gives his time and attention to his other sporting love, golf. Andrew is preparing to represent Tasmania in a couple of weeks in the Mens Interstate Golf...

Thanks Garry. How silly of me not to know that 2011 really means 2012...ha ha. Cheers Mr Wiseman.

The above link only shows results for the Classic Challenge. I can't find results for the Open Challenge. Can anyone tell me if they have been posted and if so, where? Many thanks.

Congratulations to my son Andrew who bowled a very perfect game tonight in Wellington League at Moonah Bowl on lanes 9 & 10. Considering Andrew is a very much a part time bowler these days due to him concentrating on playing state golf he threw an awesome second game smashing the pins time and...

Congratulations to June Voukolos and Joe Velo on their induction into the Tenpin Bowling Australia Hall of Fame. Both are very well deserved. For Joe Velo, I personally feel it was way overdue as he was already a legend some 45 years ago and someone I idolised when I started bowling in early...

Congratulations to Kaitlyn on being selected as part of the National Training Squad (NTS). The NTS is an initiative of TBA to improve the performance of our athletes at international events. Athletes selected in the NTS will be provided with access to specialist training with the national...

Congratulations Debbie, Chris, Sue & Nick on your masters victories. An additional well done to Chris for his brilliant finish with 300 and 805. That's awesome bowling Chris.

Congratulations to all the junior bowlers mentioned above on their magnificent performances.

I had similar advice from TBA last year when I queried the legality of a bowler in a handicap league bowling two handed and one handed in the same game. The way I understand all this is if it is open competition (i.e. no handicap) then you can bowl left, right or two handed. The big...

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Eric Challenor, a coach to many bowlers at Moonah Bowl over many years. Eric was inducted into the Tasmanian Tenpin Bowling Hall of Fame in 2007 as a member of the winning 1985 Tasmanian Mens Rachuig Team. Eric was the manager of the team. On a...

I have always had a view similar to John's in that it is bad manners in my view to shut yourself off from others around you. Surely part of bowling for all of us, in both tournaments and league is the social interaction that should be able to take place. Just imagine if no one spoke to anyone...

Congratulations Paul. A just reward for having been close on a few previous occasions. Well done.

I thought I should post this in the Tasmania forum as some people may have missed my earlier post under High Game & or Series & Achievements. Congratulations to Ian Mackenzie for bowling his first 300 last Tuesday night during Suzuki Premier League. Well done Ian and hope you get to repeat...

Congratulations to 18 yr old Ian Mackenzie who bowled his first 300 in Suzuki League at AMF Moonah last night. Well done Ian, what a great achievement and I hope this will be the first of many in the future.

Congratulations to Kaitlyn and Chris on your very fine efforts.

Belmo...........No I don't think the two handed delivery has had any affect on my right wrist. It's always been like this.

Great game Garry, congratulations.

Hi Ryan, I have not met you but I wanted to make a comment about your bowling achievements. These are significant milestones in one's bowling career and should prove to you that you are very capable of doing these things and you should now look to doing them on a more regular occasion. When...

Congratulations Ted on your 300. .... are you with me? I was bowling on the pair beside Ted, he had just thrown his 11th, looked across at me as cool as you like and said..."Would you mind throwing the 12th for me? (a great way to break the tension) . ...ha ha...no need Ted, you had just...

Well done Lyall on a great achievement. I note Paul's mention about a bowler presenting in a professional manner. We could certainly do with more of that. Well done on a great all round performance.

Congratulations Lyall, fantastic achievement.

Hi Peter, The 2010 team photogrpahs for scratch teams are currently showing the 2009 photos. Needs a correction to the link. Cheers

Heartiest congratulations Matt, that is a truly magnificent effort having not competed at that level for such a long period. Well done mate. Congratulations also to Debbie for winning another masters title, top effort Debbie.
