Congrats all, especially Bec & James. Have a great time in Perth.

I, for one, as a Senior, (and have some extra weight on) am not able to wear skirts, or, now, long pants, and am only able to wear 3/4 length (just below the knees) tailored dress shorts. I wear these year-round, and, yes, in the FREEZING cold of winter here, I still wear them, as I find them...

Isn't this under 'Slow Bowling & Lane Courtesy' just a couple of subjects down in the forum? Why have it twice?

Guys, I was in the ACT Graded (now Restricted) team in 2004 who won in Melbourne at the Nationals, and have made this year's team for Hobart. What I am wondering was if and when there is going to be a Restricted and under 50 section to the Seniors' ranking tourneys? If you make/have made...

Will she be there during the Seniors? Suzi

That would be well & good, but what about us 'just on 50 year olds' who are not able to bowl in open tourneys as we only have a low average (currently 112) and a disabiltiy. I have been in the Seniors for the last 3 years (I did not know about them until I was asked if I wanted to bowl with...

Go Marcie, see you in Hobart - check out our team, it is the same as the one in Melbourne, except Hermann was not eligible, and Rick (my hubby) made it. Good to see Jill in the open women's too. Sue

Congrats on your fantastic 300 today. Sue

In 2003 I had to give up completely because of a "stuffed" right knee from a car accident quite a few years ago. (I am nearly 50 now). Now I go to about 1 1/2 steps (in my local bowl, it is at the end of the shadow of the overhead scorers) from the foul line and bowl from there as if I was...

Jeff I am interested, but not available until after 11.30am Sundays. Sue

I'm a Technical Accountant (for all you people who may be behind the times, that's a bookkeeper to you). At present a scanner and data entry operator (no, not my type of work, but it brings in the money).

I agree with the first 7 past the post. In the Seniors, we have the roll-offs and the teams are seleced on the first 6 for the open teams (men & women), and the first 3 on handicap for each of the men (<179) & women (< 169) in the restricted team. This may be the rule for some other Adult...

Feral, Because we may be the only ones who remember the old bowls. My fav was Rushcutter where I first learned to bowl in the mid 70's Suzi

1 NSW-84 points 2 SA-79.5 3 Qld-71.5 4 Vic-65 5 Tas-60.5 6 ACT-53 7 WA-50 8 NT-40 All this is now on the ATBSO website, including individual scores.

Good luck at Illawarra. Go for back-to-back Restricted champs. Most of all, have fun. Sue

I turned 13 the day they sent the first man (Armstrong & Aldrin) to the moon (16/07/??). Now gues how old I am now?

This is somewhat from left field, as I am a senior. How many bowlers do each team put on the lanes? 3, 4 or 5? In the seniors, we have 4 bowlers on the lanes, and 2 others, thus making the team 6 players. We bowl 21 games over 3 days, and each bowler MUST bowl at least 10 games over that...

I was bowling at Olympic Bowl in Canberra (yes. that was in 1987), when on my 2nd ball in practice I fell over the foul line. To cap it off, I found out 3 weeks later that I was pregnant. My son turned 17 1/2 last week, and I celebrated my IL birthday yesterday (have a guess). Still very...

Yeehah!!! Tassie here we come. We hope to be moving to D'port late next year, and hope we can do it around the time of the Nationals, to save extra trips. The reason for D'port, is it is cooler in summer and warmer in winter than here where we are now. See you there!

Queanbeyan bowl has all their rates at www.queanbeyanbowl.com.au, and look under pricing for the 2005 game prices, which are extremely reasonable. Keep up the good work Scott and staff. Queanbeyan is proudly independant, and we love bowling there.

Andrew Please go to page 4 of this forum, and under the title 'Nationals assistance needed from an Illawarra native', you will find all the help you need. Suzi

I would like to know how far Kiama is away from the bowl, and how long it takes to travel, especially in peak periods(if you have such things). I get claustrophobic staying in motels, so I prefer to stay in Cabin Parks. Also, how far is the bowl from the train station, and which one? As...
