    RIP Robert(Bob) Brunell

    Condolences to the Brunell Family, Bob was one of a kind, a nice guy until someone pissed him off. He was my doubles partner in Darwin for a couple of years and on two occasions took a couple of people outside because he thought they had been sandbagging until they met us in the draw?? Sad to...

    Tenpin Bowling Going Backwards

    I think, like Jeff says we have to look at a lot of factors - between 70s and 90s ATBC had funding from airlines and used to give grants back to the states and territories to help get their players to Nationals. Some of the remote states used to get up to $10,000 back per team and this helped...

    NT Championships

    Scott, once again you do not have information that is correct. There are 3 Alice Springs delegates on the committee and if you feel that they are not looking after the bowlers in Alice Springs interests, then put yourself forward and spend the time that they do on all matters pertaining to...

    NT Championships

    Scott airfares quoted are Return from Alice Springs on Qantas, we have offered billet accommodation, so it is food and entries money that is needed. The NTTBA had their first meeting on this subject a couple of weeks ago when everyone was back from holidays. If you have issues with fundraising...

    NT Championships

    Scott, the championships were in Alice Springs last year. The State committee has found billetts for the visiting bowlers from Alice Springs and the airfares are nowhere near what you have quoted unless you are flying business class both ways. You obviously have not read the Rachuig nomination...

    Big Win For Josh Alvisse

    Hi Everyone, We are also very proud of Josh here in the NT. He was our draft player at Youth and really wanted to compete at Arafura Games. The Victorians did not get organised this Games to send a team so we registered Josh as an NT player so that he was able to compete. Hope the Vics will...

    Rachuig Trophy Survey - Remember the 2009 Ash Riley Speech

    I am with Morty on several issues. I have been travelling to Rachuig for many years as a coach. This event is a unique event, the only one of its kind in the world. I travel throughout Asia on many occasions and am asked how another country could get into this event. Other countries want to...

    How to shatter a bowlers ambition

    Peter, I have a newsflash, Rachuig is not floundering at all. A team is 5 and that is how many people play in a game. The best five bowlers performing. This is not a social event where every player wins a prize unless the team has performed at their best. The extra two players give depth to...

    The Sate Teams are gonna love this one..

    Andrew, Fielding a 6 person team is a matter of choice for some states. People are saying that bowlers do not want to bowl Nationals or play under these rules, but the states need to look at the requirements and costs put on players to compete. If you want to represent this country in our...

    Why Queensland men can't win Rachuig

    For whatever reason George has stirred up a hornets nest in Qld - what a great motivator for the current Qld team to do well. We all attend Rachuig each year, coaches and players alike because we are passionate about this teams event, the only one in the world and a great event. Petersen...

    Rachuig Politics

    Rachuig is still a great event for those who participate, unfortunately the cost of travel, accommodation, excess baggage etc have made it unaffordable for some of our best bowlers to chase rankings points and attend the Nationals. We have battled the dollar here since 1979 and now it costs our...

    NT Championships

    Congratulations to Scott Richards for our first 300 in the 2009 NT Championships being held at the Dustbowl in Alice Springs. Great start to the championships and certainly an incentive for Darwin bowlers travelling to the Alice shortly for the final weekend over Easter. For the first time in...

    TBA Contacts

    I stated in another thread that the TBA emails were temporarily down due to the change in the website. The tenpin.org emails are now all working again. I have had contact from girls in the office so the office is open, John Coxon is at Youth Nationals but still contactable via email, Gillian...

    Qantas Changes to Baggage Allowance

    Hi All, I have just spoken to John Coxon on the phone and he has advised that with the changeover from the TBA server to the new website all tenpin.org.au emails have ceased to be operational. Hopefully this will be fixed by Monday afternoon, so that he will receive any recent emails sent...

    Why should I pay $55 to bowl league?

    In regard to the Seniors National Team, Broni is right, the successful team members will need to pay the higher membership. At this time there has never been a development camp for this event but if everyone embraces the membership scheme in all centres then of course Seniors coaching and...

    2009 RANKED TOURNAMENTS

    Certainly I agree about bowlers being made welcome and some of the Tournament Directors around Australia do an exceptional job. Arafura Games normally has the closing ceremony for the Games on Saturday evening meaning that our final event is not over at that time. Arafura Games is run by the...
