    Should we allow the changes to DeVeer?

    Brenton is right in every aspect, but let's be realistic who knows outside of theTen Pin Bowling fraternity who are the top State and Australian ten pin bowlers ? Ask average Joe in the street who the players are in their State Rachuig team and I think we all know what the answer will be, I...

    Notice the quaint little room airconditioners in the wall, they probably work better than any AMF Centre going around in Australia.

    Position on the wearing of shorts in tournaments

    Let's face it if the Fashion Police were on the beat at Bowling Centres there would be a huge rise in arrests. Some bowlers have no fashion sense or a mirror at their front door as they leave to go bowling As in most centres the air-conditioning either doesn't work or it is ineffective and...

    Stolen Bowling Gear ECCC Fairfield

    During the ECCC held at Fairfield last week, some obliging person helped themselves to my bowling equipment from the boot of my car in the Council Car Park just down from the bowl. It is a bit of a shot in the dark by putting this notice out there, but you never know ? Stolen was an...

    Congratulations to Ian Swan

    Congratulations to Ian Swan on winning the ACT ATBSO Restricted Masters on the weekend, just goes to show there is life in the old fella. I am led to believe by good authority that one of the participants in the restricted masters made a comment to Ian before the tournament "Oh your here to...

    ATBSO stand up and be counted

    Thanks Steve for saying what us 45-49.363 day year olds have been saying for awhile now, are we all one ATBSO, or are we divided ? Let's get the numbers back up in the ATBSO Senior State tournaments and let's get back to the grass roots level of why Seniors was formed, to have some fun and...

    Lack of trained techs!!

    Being a service manager in a another industry that is desperately short of qualified technicians I cannot harp enough on TRAINING. Then again in this time and day why would young people want to take on a trade technical job when IT and high tech jobs are paying higher hourly rates...

    Is There A Age Change to Senior Tournaments?

    Sumo, that was the point that I was making before Jagga enlightened me that TBAL brought the age limit for ranked events to 50 to fall in line with World requirements. I still cannot see why Senior tournaments cannot be be run for over 45's and the 50 and over players can be ranked at the...

    Ipods.

    My mobile phone rang once whilst I was bowling and I continued to bowl with the ear piece in and giving the caller a description of the release and shot, must say though my opponents were no happy, but what's the difference in listening to an Ipod or using your mobile phone. This funniest...

    Is There A Age Change to Senior Tournaments?

    Why not break the Seniors up into variuos age categories? 1) 45 - 49 Junior Seniors 2) 50 - 59 Seniors 3) 60 - 69 Master Seniors 4) 70 - 100 Veteran Seniors When ATBSO first started out in 1992 ATBC did not want to know seniors, but as Seniors has become a...

    The Nationals Report - De Veer.

    No one seems to have mentioned the absolutely awesome display from the NSW Mens De Veer team who secured the GOLD medal in their home state. Whilst other teams attempted to sing, chant and yell to try and win the allusive gold medal, NSW went about their business in a truly professional and...

    Hey Spanner (Marto) did Gary accuse some one of calling out his name when he missed that solid ten pin and allowed SQ to win the team point ?? That funny same thing happened against NSW !! Must be a phantom voice in the centre somewhere

    Walter De Veer 2005 - Form Guide.

    Having watched Team NSW practice over the last few months it must be said they will be difficult to toss on home turf. Tillie Swan has her new Elvis spare ball, which as it is about to hit the pins sings "I'm all shook up" If Tillie doesn't bowl well then you will be hearing an announcement...
