Condolences to the Brunell Family, Bob was one of a kind, a nice guy until someone pissed him off. He was my doubles partner in Darwin for a couple of years and on two occasions took a couple of people outside because he thought they had been sandbagging until they met us in the draw?? Sad to...

I think, like Jeff says we have to look at a lot of factors - between 70s and 90s ATBC had funding from airlines and used to give grants back to the states and territories to help get their players to Nationals. Some of the remote states used to get up to $10,000 back per team and this helped...

Scott, once again you do not have information that is correct. There are 3 Alice Springs delegates on the committee and if you feel that they are not looking after the bowlers in Alice Springs interests, then put yourself forward and spend the time that they do on all matters pertaining to...

Scott airfares quoted are Return from Alice Springs on Qantas, we have offered billet accommodation, so it is food and entries money that is needed. The NTTBA had their first meeting on this subject a couple of weeks ago when everyone was back from holidays. If you have issues with fundraising...

Scott, the championships were in Alice Springs last year. The State committee has found billetts for the visiting bowlers from Alice Springs and the airfares are nowhere near what you have quoted unless you are flying business class both ways. You obviously have not read the Rachuig nomination...

Hi Everyone, We are also very proud of Josh here in the NT. He was our draft player at Youth and really wanted to compete at Arafura Games. The Victorians did not get organised this Games to send a team so we registered Josh as an NT player so that he was able to compete. Hope the Vics will...

I am with Morty on several issues. I have been travelling to Rachuig for many years as a coach. This event is a unique event, the only one of its kind in the world. I travel throughout Asia on many occasions and am asked how another country could get into this event. Other countries want to...

Congratulations Richard, from all your NT Team Members

Nice reward for all the hard work. One of our sports gentlemen, congratulations Garry, job well done. June, George, Bec and Ron Voukolos

Peter, I have a newsflash, Rachuig is not floundering at all. A team is 5 and that is how many people play in a game. The best five bowlers performing. This is not a social event where every player wins a prize unless the team has performed at their best. The extra two players give depth to...

Well once again we have proven that hard work, practice and dedication to the team environment pays off. Well done to NT Restricted Challenge teams, I hoped you enjoyed the event. Champion overall team Champion Men's Team Champion Women's Team Silver and Bronze medal in All Events Gold...

Congratulations Chris on yet another 300, lots of tournaments to come in the next few weeks, many more good performances just waiting. All the best

Andrew, Fielding a 6 person team is a matter of choice for some states. People are saying that bowlers do not want to bowl Nationals or play under these rules, but the states need to look at the requirements and costs put on players to compete. If you want to represent this country in our...

For whatever reason George has stirred up a hornets nest in Qld - what a great motivator for the current Qld team to do well. We all attend Rachuig each year, coaches and players alike because we are passionate about this teams event, the only one in the world and a great event. Petersen...

This is disgusting, he should be locked up
