People, people, people...........

I hope we are all not going to end up like the Chaddy thread which went on forever about clashing with whatever.... From this thread, it seems that there is talk again about clashing with another tournament.

K&K is in Queensland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again, not every tom dcik and harry can afford a flight, accommodation, the cost of the entry fee, transportation and food costs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I personally respect the fact who ever is going to the K&K classic good bowling and good luck but AGAIN, we bowlers are given the choice. YES, a choice so shall we leave it at this my fellow bowlers?

Well said Leo, problem is bowlers haven't had to make these tough choices in the past. I think this is good. It will build healthy competition and give this sport what it needs. The up side is if Tournaments are trying to compete for bowlers it might bring lower entree fees and bigger prize funds.

Leo,

No where can l see where this has become the same as the Chaddy debate. The Chaddy debate happened because it was 2 Vic events clashing, when bowlers have been screaming out for events to be put on in Victoria, and then the centres choose the same dates, as other events are on, limiting the numbers at the events (regardless of it was MTC or not, as in this case it is Forest hill & Northcote, which l did not notice until Alex pointed out)

I can understand, and have no problems with local events clashing with interstate events, that just means the bowlers have to choose travel or not.

The bowlers so far have only said the tourney looks interesting but sorry l am already bowling at ..... No one had said anything about the date clash, but just already committed to another event, which was not in Victoria.

Brendan,

I hope it is a success, and you maybe able to hold another, as l would love to have a go, if not committed to another event. (before someone jumps up and down, l am not saying anything about date clashes, or working around my available dates that l am not bowling, as afterall that is just about every weekend these days.)

Best of luck with this event mate.

 

[crazzzed]

all i was pointing out was that it sounded good and would have bowled but wasnt able. if we dont let the people running these events know that we think its a good one how will they know to keep trying to get these events off the ground.
I hope it goes well Brendan and good luck to all who bowl

Due to the abundance of tournaments on the weekend of May 19-21 we have decided to move this tournament back 1 month to Saturday June 17th.
A new entry form is attached with this post confirming the change of date.
This date change gives both us as the centre and you the bowlers additional time to prepare for this tournament.
With a prizefund of over $5000 and a 1 in 3 payout we are anticipating a healthy turnout for this event.
Look forward to seeing bowlers on the new date for this tournament June 17th.

Brendan Hanton

[peter56]

[tonx]

Cheer bud!

 

[Amf Northcote]

To give us a bit more lead time with this event and in order to try and secure some sponsorship we will be moving this event back a couple of months to Saturday August 5th.
All other details remain the same and we will update bowlers, including a revised entry form in the next few weeks so stay tuned.
