    NSW State Champs Are On!

    Sure are! Some of the NSW Seniors rocked up yesterday and we had a great time. Great lanes - good oil - and great cafe. Plenty of rain on the way up to Gosford but no problems on the freeway, and 95% of the drivers were being sensible. Definitely worth the drive in the rain, well done to...

    Tenpin Bowling is in TOP 20 sports in Australia on tv's RICH LIST...

    I didnt see The Rich List last week as I was away in NZ, bowling in a tournament. I would have been very happy though to see that occasionally ten pin bowling is regarded as a sport in some media circles. Since returning from my "holiday" many of my workmates have asked me if I had a good...

    ANZAC DAY TOURNAMENT

    I would come and bowl at Macarthur if you put a ladies division into a scratch tournament and its not too expensive. Those of us who take Anzac Day seriously would have got out of bed early and gone to a dawn parade. The ex-diggers go to the dawn parade, then they get together afterwards and...

    Are we promoting Tournaments Properly?

    Great to get somebody putting some idea forward Tix, and while I agree that a NSW tournament run along the lines of Mary Flower's Twin Tour in Brisbane would be a very worthwhile thing to have here, a problem could be that most of the competitive bowlers are involved in either Pennants, Bowl...

    Are we promoting Tournaments Properly?

    My comments - (a senior point of view) - I will go to a tournament anywhere if I can be sure I am going to enjoy participating. I want to bowl against my own age group, I want to bowl the best I possibly can and I want to meet up with "mates" from around the country, but I dont want to spend 2...

    9th Asian Seniors Championships - Australian Teams

    It would be really nice to see some sort of announcement regarding selection for the seniors teams, or at least an update on progress. I think it would be fair to say that the seniors know they will be self funded again, and most of us "have our lives on hold" waiting to see how many teams...

    People with dual sign inn’s

    I know I am blonde, perhaps I misunderstood you when you said you didnt want people with dual sign ins. :confused: (And by the way you put one too many "n" letters on sign in, unless you are going to the pub, otherwise known as an inn, or ale house.)

    A1 coach needed

    If you live on the north side, and need to get coaching during the day I would suggest you see Laurie Hill at Caboolture. He owns the proshop there so he has a lot to offer. I am not sure whether he is accredited or not, but he has a lot of bowling experience and I am sure he would at least...

    People with dual sign inn’s

    So what if I want to post as me but I need to post on behalf of a committee? I want to keep my personal opinion quite separate from the other entity.

    New Bowling Centre at Darling Harbour

    Yep! We have been watching with interest for the past few weeks, the windows are boarded up at present, so we can't see inside the only sign on the door is the usual legal stuff for a licence application. We live 2 minutes walk from this new bowl. The development is a huge area, but you can...

    Why so many Queenslanders?

    There really are a lot of bowlers in NSW, but communication seems to be the problem. We also have a lot of tournaments/leagues such as Pennants, ID and Bowl Sydney which run every weekend. We really need a "Mary Flower" down here. (Mary is coming to visit next month - I am going to...

    Switchable thumb inserts

    Surely the advantages are obvious - if your thumb swells up while bowling you can very quickly remove one interchangeable insert for another which saves the bother of using tape. My partner can use up to 3 different inserts during one game. Unlike tape which when removed leaves a sticky...

    Mary - Our Flower

    Mary is under strict doctor's orders not to look at a computer screen for the time being, so she is unable to read emails and posts on the forum. All flowers thrive with a little care and attention though, so why not "water" the flower with a quick phone call, and let her know you are thinking...

    Entering tournaments

    Thinking back to my "beginnings" (long before TBA website was introduced) when I saw an entry form appear in my bowling centre, or heard an announcement about an inhouse tournament - that's when I started thinking about tournaments. It didnt matter to me what average I had, I just wanted to...

    Australian Tenpin Bowling in 2006

    Good posts Easy Tiger and TWenban, I would like to mention that I think the cost factor has a lot to do with the down turn in numbers at tournaments and in bowling generally. Personally I need to bowl 3 times a week to maintain a good average, say 2 leagues and a practice session or a...

    SUNA TWINS 5TH B'DAY

    Hey, what's going on here with all this personal stuff about birthdays and armageddon. I was looking in the Queensland page hoping to read some bowling news, for a moment I thought I was in some "Gerry type chat show". Come on moderators - lets stick to the main topic and get these...
