Sure it is good news. Still an AMF commercial decision non-the-less. While independent centres outnumber AMF centres 2 to 1 - of course they need to form "alliances" like this, to attempt to keep a nose in front.

Streaming to the web is not brain surgery. Gosh - some 'ladies' stream live on the web 24x7 - so it is obviously not that difficult. Did they even test the live stream, before it was meant to be activated? Have sponsors advertise next to/below the streaming window, to offset the cost - would...

The purpose of the TBA Rule Book is not to impede the sport of Tenpin Bowling, which it seems it has done in this case - causing a tournament which has been around for more than five minutes to cancel it's event. This is not really fostering participation of the sport is it? I do not imagine...

Here are things which is why there is a lack of numbers in the sport. Cost - yep - totally agree 100%, but where is the support of growing the sport of tenpin bowling in Australia. Is there growth in bumper bowler leagues, juniors.... NOPE!! Want a healthy sport again - have to start at the...

OK... So which bowlers are media relation professionals?? Here is an absolutely BRILLIANT opportunity to (if Jason can and is prepared to), raise the profile of TenPin Bowling in Australia OVERNIGHT. What shows?? Rove...The Shak...Radio Interviews...Sunrise...etc...etc... V

I agree, TBA go and accredit/sanction/register (whatever it is nowadays) they have a responsibility to the bowler. At least they should know, so they can know which tournaments, tournament directors/committees, to perhaps ask twice - before they permit their tournament again. V

Thanks for posting that Wayne.... Now there is no confusion... One thing perhaps though. "There is only a sport because the Federal Government recognise the NSO." I dont want to laugh about that statement - but seriously. Tenpin exists as a sport whether the Government recognise an...

Think John Coxon and TBA better watch out though in all this.. - If a bowler doesnt bowl in a league (or bowls in an unsanctioned league) - Holds a TBA card - Wants to bowl in a tournament without a handicap Would be discrimination as far as I understand - to stop a person bowling...

That is a SUPER idea.. I will try to get there, and to spread the word with the bowlers I know that may not see the post here.

Come on pick up those jaws.... Warrnambool cant be that bad (in the middle of winter.... hmmm.... perhaps it can)

Wayne, I think what you write is a bit of the boy calling 'wolf'. I cant see you believe for one minute that what you suggest would happen. I just cant see the social league really being that stressed about all those rules... I agree with you though, that the membership is purely only a...

Cant believe they change the tenpin website, and lose their email addresses. It seriously is not that difficult. V

Joe, Grant Eadie was a board member of CTBAM. From my knowledge he and the CEO were invited to more than one CTBAM board meetings. The CTBAM had numerous contact via phone to the CEO, a lot of this conversation after being made aware of a notion of motion to the Vic State Branch of TBA...

As in that famous line from 'The Castle'. 70,000 - "Tell them they're dreaming" If they get over 10,000 - they definitely wont make 20,000.

John MClean has not been on the CTBAM board for many years. The current president is Bryant Stafford, and we now have Eric Thompson as Male Vice President. Andrew, the CTBAM did not want a separation to occur as it has. That was made quite clear to all members who attended the CTBAM AGM in...
