Well done to all on orchestrating this great media blitz ....but then you have such a marketable talent with which to work! Congratulations Jase...

    Passing of Roy Eslick

    It is with much sadness that we learn of the passing of a stalwart of our Industry. Emphysema is a most debilitating disease and the past several years would have been difficult for the Eslick family. I knew Roy well - we worked together for many years and above all else his devotion to AMF was...

    Tribute to Roy West

    I am extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Roy West. Roy West was my mentor through the first two decades of my involvement in Tenpin Bowling. Through the responsibility that he had for AMF in the Southern hemisphere, Roy's wise counsel enabled me to steer a course that saw bowling in...

    I have never been so proud/upset

    Reading Jason's post conjured up such emotion for this truly great champion. Champions are borne out of humility and being able to not only recognise but salute the achievements of others. Jason, long after the excitement of this World Cup dies down, Anne-Marie will read and re-read your...

    I would like to add my own personal message to a truly wonderful, caring and dedicated lady - Lyn Chown.

    Does Your Bowling Centre Need A Face Lift?

    AMF understand the needs of their bowlers and are 100% committed to providing exceptional facilities, quality service and excellent lane conditions. We would like to wave a magic wand and achieve this goal overnight but that is not possible. I would urge bowlers to visit Woodville Bowl in...

    AMF now Aussie owned. Are we any better off?

    I usually don't comment on subjects such as this...but it is important for all of our staff and valued League/ Tournament bowlers to understand that AMF will, under my stewardship, be run on the basis of respect - respect for our staff at all levels and respect for our most valued customers...

    Bankstown Open - Nsw Tour - Cancelled

    It is easy to be a lounge chair critic of AMF and their efforts to improve Tournaments for all levels of bowlers. It is disappointing to read the vindictive posts relating to AMF's sincere efforts to re-establish a viable Tournament scene in Australia but we will not be undeterred. We have been...

    The disenchantment of tourn. bowling

    There is no doubt that AMF need to take a leadership role in regard to Tournament bowling and we will. Our goal is to develop a new Schedule both by State, National as well as International events. Macquarie Leisure recognise that competitive bowling is a most important part of the business but...

    VALE DAVID SCHMELZKOPF

    I read with great shock and deep regret the untimely passing of a legend of our beloved Sport. I met David on only a few occasions but on each of them found him to be so generous with his time and genuine advice (even to a competitor). My deepest sympathy to Val - who will, I am sure, take...

    STIKEZONE or AMF

    This post is for general interest but specifically for 'timmee'. The pricing debate is extremely important as are your views. It is ONLY through open discussion such as published on this Board that both Proprietors and Customers can gain a win win situation. I am sure that AMF have done a...

    STIKEZONE or AMF

    Hi Graham, By virtue of the fact that we had a heap of calls from the Public prior to the FREE day AND took bookings, I don't think the result would have been much different at a buck a game. We used to have a summer card at $100 for 100 games and only sold a handful...but then too it was...

    STIKEZONE or AMF

    Taking the subject of prices a step further let me say if it were ONLY a question of price, I am sure that most proprietors would trade price against increased volume. However, my experience over operating Centres in excess of 30 years is that it is NOT price alone that determines volume. Sure...

    STIKEZONE or AMF

    I am always interested to learn from the posts of our most important customers, namely our League bowlers and gain some insight into their perceptions. After all it would be a silly proprietor that would not listen to the opinions of their customers. From a BowlAustralia perspective there is a...
