For those who are unaware Mayfield still has "Overlanes", you may want to practice before you get shocked. willey

Wayne, the World Championships are on and no one is dominating because of varying Patterns, Short or Long, I think they should add an Intermediate Pattern. Now the Button Presser is taken out of the Equation. willey

Troyza, TechP, Scooba, I worked for 36 years as mostly a Head Tech and I can tell you this, you are spending too much time on the Pindecks, the No Slide Pin Spots stop all Off Spots and they last quite awhile, no extra work needs to be done. Troyza you obviously haven't experienced Synthetic...

Cowman, how about Basket Ball, it hits the back board and goes in, it becomes a Bullseye, does three laps of the ring and goes in it's a Bullseye, no different to Brooklyn. Did someone mention Drugs, I laughed when I seen those Jamaicans and the Muscles, they were just the Girls. Remember...

I have worked in Bowling Centre's for 36 years, from 1969, I have also worked in 14 different Centres in Sydney, Campbelltown, Newcastle and Mackay, some doing over 50 linage, if you didn't have a Tournament on at 9am on a Sunday you had nothing. willey.

Well said Wayne, you will probably be panned for what you have written by those on this site with agenda's but there would be no such thing as a Tournament, if the Centre's were full. The Tournaments over the years were always designed to Increase Linage during the event, not as some kind of...

Well in my opinion, as someone who has worked in Bowling Centres for most of my life, the Toilets are a Shame. I can say this even when I used to clean them, as many in AMF have and had to do in their cost cutting. I always tried to do my best but I never did them 7 days a week and we had to...

How sad, I knew Roy for most of his working life at AMF, always a Gentleman. Frank Williams

Welcome, to the World of Bowling in Newcastle, every Centre has Synthetic Approaches and they are all STICKY, thats why I can't Bowl here. willey

I can't believe the Tripe being written in this thread, Fact#1, the only people who Bag Bowling are Bowlers, the rest of the World don't know, or care, about it's Nuances. The game is what it is now, we can't go back so you have to live with it. With multi Oiling procedures for Tournaments, the...

Amanda you don't have to SHOUT, you're right about the approaches, I was thinking about bowling at Warners Bay when I left Mayfield but I couldn't slide at all, than I tried Mayfield when they Re-Furbished but again I couldn't slide, next time I will wear a Sock. Frank

Tonx, Peter has run Tournaments, he ran the Margaret Cole for a number of years, even when Maitland was an independent Centre, he ran the Lake Macquarie Open for a couple of years. He knows about sponsors and has been able to acquire them. Unfortunately the many years that Bowling Centres have...

Peter, one tournament a Year is nothing , we need to do it like Mary Flower in Queensland and have a series of Tournaments, they don't have to be BIG. We don't need the rest of the Country to compete, this is how the Tournament Scene will improve, this is how we Nurture Bowlers. Remember the Old...

Now it's starting to become obvious where the Answers lie! We've had all these experts telling us that we should be reducing the number of Tournaments and only making Quality Tournaments, this is the Exact opposite of what is needed to Nurture the Tournament Scene in Australia. Amanda has hit...

What a shame Fairfield was the first Centre I bowled at when I was a kid, also the first Centre I worked in, I started on 21/10/1969, easy to remember it was my 17th birthday. Thanks for that Roy I didn't even know it was closing, Fairfield was an extremely successful Centre until they stuffed...

Maxine bowls more Peter Van Kempen Style. willey

Nah, not as strong as Maxine willey

As a previous post has alluded to, Women do not have the Strength to Cup and Snap the Ball, unless they are Weight Lifters and is that what we want in our Sport, is that where we want to Head by making them Illegal. I know what your thinking? some of them look like Weight Lifters( only joking )...

Amanda (Bradley) Little, always has her Mongoose on even if she is practicing, even when she eats, just joking. willey

I'm with Terry on golf, the coverage sux, they only show the top 3 or 4 players in the Tournament and if they are not hitting we see ducks swimming in a pond or a large Tree, there could be 100 Golfers still playing. They do the same in England, when Channel 9 used to cover the Golf in Packers...

I just checked thru Bowltech.com, and they are called "No Slide Pin Spots". willey

Hi Michael, can you tell me what Terratide is. In the USA the best they are using is a product that is put around the spots and stuck on, something similar to Guardian, if you have seen it, and it's legal. willey

CT and Devil's Advocate have both hit the OOB on the head, OOB only happens in the Backend, so I would say there is something wrong with the lanes or the Kegel is not cleaning properly. It is not possible to hit 3 if the lanes are clean, even with extra oil out wide this will cause the ball to...

Wayne, Trouss, I have oiled lanes since I was 17, I'm as old as you Wayne. I think you are talking Reverse Block, if anyone oils lanes with a Reverse Block to Trick-Up the lanes to decrease scoring than they need their Head examined, because it's not fair to everybody, it's like oiling both...

Is there a Centre in Maitland? willey
