What a 'shot-in-the-arm' for the Industry in this Country. Not only a fine ambassador but what the sport of bowling has been sorely lacking - a HERO. Well done to all on orchestrating this great media blitz ....but then you have such a marketable talent with which to work! Congratulations Jase...

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...

AMF VILLAWOOD'S PHONE NUMBER IS (02) 97262933

AMF announce that their magificent 26 Lane Centre has opened alongside the large Bunnings Store in Villawood NSW. This Centre replaces the old Fairfield Bowl which closed at the end of June 08. AMF Villawood boasts 26 Brunswick Synthetic Lanes and the upgraded Computer Scoring system. Additional...

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...

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. I have been privileged to have worked with Lyn for many years and have always admired her absolute commitment to her 'broader' bowling family. I know of no other person in Sydney bowling who...

My sincere congratulations to the organising committee of this event. The great turnout and apparent comraderie vindicates the view that if you provide national events for bowlers at all levels of proficiency the Sport of bowling will prosper. My best wishes to all for an exciting tournament...

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...

There is absolutely no truth to the rumour. The Nationals will be bowled at Strikezone Illawarra as scheduled.

WOW! how about that........

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...

Thanks to all who posted on this subject. Your comments are most welcome and helpful. We are taking them on board and will relook at this series with a view to reinstating it. Regards, Roy M.

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...

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...

I have read with great interest the various posts associated with the decision to restructure the NSW Grand Prix series. I am furthermore heartened by the passion expressed in relation to Tournament competition for both adult, youth and Juniors - this is exactly what our Sport needs and much...

Just recognition for an amazing talent and genuine nice guy! Well done Jase from all at BowlAustralia. Sincerely, Roy M.

Hi Sham, I'm not sure that I can help as it's been 20 years since I left SA although I still maintain contact with a number of Proprietors in SA. I would like to help (if I can) My personal email address is [email protected].

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...

Congratulations Zane on a smart move. I am sure that in the end it will be the bowlers who will benefit from the amalgamation and continue to enjoy the Sport we all love. May bowling in your area prosper and go from strength to strength. Good luck to all! Roy Menachemson CEO BowlAustralia Group.

Just wanted to add my congratulations to Mick on an outstanding victory. Mick produced an awesome display of Power/ controlled bowling and is an exciting bowler to watch. Congratulations too to all the participants in this year's event. Your on-lane performances were only matched by your...

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...

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...

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...

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...
