About bloody time!

No one is more deserving of this honor. I have learnt alot from this gentleman over the few years i bowled Rachuig and tournaments. It's been a honor to be able to bowl with, and against you Ash.

Everyone is correct, Ash could not deserve this honour more and I was thrilled to be there to see him be inducted.

However, in response to the comments that it "should have happened sooner", while I love hearing people voicing their opinions on our Hall of Fame and Sports Awards, the committee calls for nominations every year prior to the event. This is the first year that Ash has been nominated. If there are people that you feel should be nominated, get your forms in! Unfortunately, no matter how much we try and encourage people to nominate, we continually receive very few nominations outside of the actual Hall of Fame committee. The nomination form has now been uploaded to the TBT website and we are happy to accept nominations all year round.

Thanks
Kassey.

As the closing date for nominations for the Hall of Fame are nearing once again, I wanted to bring this thread back to everyone's attention as so many people seem to have opinions on who should be inducted and/or receive awards on the night, yet so little people actually let their opinions count in the lead up.

If you consider someone worthy of these awards, please forward a nomination into the committee!
