Well I was just reminiscing about how almost 8 years ago I posted a reply to a post in the Comments and Suggestions Forum titled "Separate FORUM for 300 Games" on April 29th 2008 which prompted the creation of this forum. Gee how times fly. Though I seldom log on these days its good to see an...

Seems like different times we live in now. Chadstone will close its doors on Sunday with little fanfare or thank you to its bowlers. Seems they will operate on the day business as usual. Obviously just stayed open until the end of the school holidays. I wish all current and former Chadstone...

Sadly tonight due to the impossible situation now with car parking at Chadstone Shopping Centre my league, "The Pacesetters League" voted to relocate and start bowling at Clayton effective from next Tuesday night. With the late league, "Major League" bowling for the last time at Chadstone last...

After recent feedback provided to Bowland Cranbourne's website I was notified that they are now offering their member practice rates to TBA card holders. Below is a extract from the email I received: "Frank has asked me to let you know, we have put into action the TBA member practice rates...

Just thought I might ask if any other bowlers are venturing to the SCG this weekend to watch the baseball. I am flying up to see the second game on Sunday between the Dodgers and the Diamond backs. Should be interesting seeing it live. I'm curious as to how stop start the game really is live...

Congratulations to Jason on running the step ladder and becoming the first bowler in 50 years to defend their USBC Masters crown. See story on PBA website through link here...

Congratulations to Jason who has finished on top of the USBC Masters field after the 15 Games (3 x 5 Game Qualfying Rounds). Belmo threw a 300 in the last game to finish on top of the field by 5 odd pins over a non member Cameron Weier. Belmo averaged 232.13. Incidently Walter Ray finished...

Hi Guys Just wondering if I can get someone to take my gear up to Toowoomba. I plan to fly in but don't want to pay an arm or a leg for taking my gear with me. I can drop the gear off to you as early as Wednesday the 21st as I bowl on Tuesdays and I will not need the gear after that until I...

For those planning to fly up to Toowoomba a bit earlier in the week instead of flying in on the Saturday. Virgin Blue have an extended Happy Hour on right now with $95.00 flights to Brisbane up until Thursday 22nd. Still flights available when I post this message so jump on and save. Be mindful...

Having recently re-read the famous "High Tech Balls" and "Billy Hardwick" threads originally on the PBA forum I was wondering this: Given that it will be hard for the ABC to ban reactive technology balls altogether. If they were unable to impose a reasonable surface friction limit and...

As I was unable to attend the funeral service on Friday I thought I would pay homage to George here on the forum so those who weren't aware as well as those who were would be able to pay their own homage to George. Stokesy as we all new him represented the then MTBA in the ECCC on five...

The pricing will change little for 1 or 2 Games (5c off for Adults on two games) and no more dicounted price displayed for three games. However they will offer $5 per additional game for any social bowlers who wish to bowl more than two in a session. This will mean an increase of almost $2 per...

Just wondering who is venturing out for the East Coast Challenge Cup rolloffs at Sunshine on the weekend. I nominated for Open Men. Be interested to see how many entries in the end in each division.

The Pacesetters League bowling at Chadstone on Tuesday nights at 6:30pm is looking for 2 bowlers to bowl in the one team (Teams of 4). The league is 3 weeks in to a 42 week season. $25 per week consisting of Bowling Fees $18.00 and Prize Fund $7.00. Come and bowl in this fun yet...

On 14th of October this year Tenpin Bowling in Australia turns 50 years old. However as yet their has been little to suggest that any sort of celebration or fanfare will be held to celebrate this great milestone. If you look at the "Moorabbin Tournament 1963" thread in the Seniors forum you...

I'd like to congratulate the following bowlers for making the Rachuig Team after the selection trials at Epping last weekend. Andrew Thorpe (300 during trials, well done again Andrew) Craig Ryan Joel Lovegrove Paul Trotter Paul Robinson Darren Bianchi Paul Reus Note: Not necessarily...

After 46 years of operating as one of Victoria's premier bowling centres Northcote Bowl closed it doors for the final time last night at 9PM. A group of loyal and nostalgic Northcote stalwarts paid $15.00 to bowl at will and enjoy finger food from 5pm to around 8:30pm when the final...

ESPN is showing the Long Island event on Foxtel right now at 2pm today.

Just checked PBA.com and saw that Jason has qualified for the last PBA event before the US Open. He qualified in equal 7th position. Well done Jason and good luck.

Just thought I'd notify bowlers interested that the nominations for the State Training Squad close tommorrow Thursday January 22nd. See excerp from letter received from Vic Tenpins: As from 2009, only bowlers who are members of the State Training Squad will be eligible to roll off for...

I originally posted some of this in the VIC forum under another thread. I suggest its time for some radical reworking of our whole ranked tournament scene. My suggestion is this: First establish what events are to be classed as "The Majors": Both (Men & Women): K & K, SPC Men: AO, SA...

Just wondering who is going to front up at the Rachuig trials this year. Or if you are not apart from if you didn't bowl in the State Championships is there any other reason why you are not bowling. The event is at Tuggeranong this year so I was interested what else would keep bowlers away apart...
