The reason there is currently no stipulation to join for AMF bowlers in QLD and NSW is I believe due to the fact that not all Independent centres in these states have signed up to the agreement to enforce TBA membership on their league participants. It would be poor business sense for AMF to...

I guess to be realistic at this stage there are probably no standards currently in place. Anyone at this stage could effectively include "Australian", "Australia" in the name of their event. However I would suggest that only one thing currently will determine whether your event is considered...

Like you John I am on the eve of turning 45 although a little bit closer than you. However unlike you, I only first walked into a bowling centre after already turning 19 so missed out on the benefits of Junior ranks. My first major influences were Northcote stalwarts of the like of Tony...

I have purchased a Silver Membership for the last three or four years. I did bowl in the State Championships this year b ut apart from that have not bowled in any TBA Ranked events. I believe AMF's initiative is a welcome one for our sport. Cara has been working hard at reengaging with the...

I too totally agree with the sentiments of this thread. As a two time Rachuig participant I also think it should remain the same in order to ensure all future generations of bowlers in this country can aspire to emulate the feats of those who came before them. Having just come off the annual...

Though not there myself I have stayed at the Rooty Hill RSL before and it is a wonderful venue but there is only one thing wrong with the sentiments on this thread. The Australian Masters deserves to be showcased at the Nationals so we need to consult with AMF and centres and other third...

Hey Trots & AMP Having been a big Tour De France fan for years its sad to think that maybe in other things the froggies are third world standard. You would have thought that with such an important event to be held in the centre that the structural integrity of the building would have been...

As I was unable to attend the funeral service on Friday I thought I would pay homage to George here on the forum so those who weren't aware as well as those who were would be able to pay their own homage to George. Stokesy as we all new him represented the then MTBA in the ECCC on five...

Just a note seeing this post has been brought to the top again. I recently caught up with John Mclean. It appears the history of our sport may not have been lost as first thought. I will let everyone know what I do find out.

Thanks Shellie Would I be right then to assume that this is a Graded Girls and not a scratch girls side.

I was given a AMF Strikeline the browny type coloured one, which was drilled for a right hander. Had it drilled for me and bowled 648 (259, 137, 252) not long after. It was only my second 600 series (2 & 1/2 years bowling vintage) and less than a handful of two hundreds. Was pretty stoked at the...

Scott You forgot the Under 21 Graded Girls can you post them for me thanks. Also if you could provide all captains and managers would be much appreciated.

You gotta love shield now don't you. Good bowling and even better sledging. Bring it on.

For those rolling of this weekend coming from Dandy way a headup that the Monash Freeway is fully closed inbound between Huntingdale and Warrigal Roads Saturday 24th 12am - 9am (Friday from 9pm) and Sunday 25th 12am - 9am (Saturday from 9pm). Under 21's or those bringing under 21's to the...

Mick That is exactly what is happening this year. Hope to see you there during the cup week. The pattern is going to be laid throughout the week for the ECCC.

Well Done Barry.

Everyone except you are Gary! We need snipers! Lol. Go Chaddy!

Won't agree on his footy team being the best (well maybe just in the current period of time). However back on topic we all would give (our right arms, sorry well at least I would) to just have half of the talent on the lanes that Carl possesses. Having known Carl for over 20 odd years...

Sorry that was my bad. Yes it came from a link on an email sent to me from AMF. Try this link: http://portal.amfroller.com/apps/evoucher/print_mt.aspx?rsn=CAC41021-8A0F-486F-92E4-494F33FDC96C&cpn=AMF0099 Are you saying that you don't have to pay anything more when bowling your 4 games a...

Noticed late yesterday that AMF have a voucher on their website that if printed off and presented with your AMF Roller Card allows the bearer only to obtain unlimited games @$3 per game in that bowling session during the month of June, Monday to Friday before 6pm. Well done AMF on the offer...

The pricing will change little for 1 or 2 Games (5c off for Adults on two games) and no more dicounted price displayed for three games. However they will offer $5 per additional game for any social bowlers who wish to bowl more than two in a session. This will mean an increase of almost $2 per...

Fred Yes we again have the problem that if one state refuses to implement it then it is not adopted. This would eliminate the 'sandbaggers' but unfortunately it would also hurt those who genuinely bowled above average due to bowling more games than they normally do in the same bowling...

Scott You of all people should know that ECCC is not about huge scores or strings of strikes. Sure they might add more interest to the game(s) but at the end of the day it is who is in front after the 16 games of competition that matters to most. Along with the fact that you and your fellow...

Now I agree with the fact that the ommission of the sports pattern from the entry form was not good as this could have effected peoples decision to bowl or not bowl. If you sit down and look at it though the decision was made predominantly to prevent the thing that is killing our game and...
