This is gut-wrenchingly terrible for someone like me, who saw the " boom days ". There can't be that many of us left. I'm actually pleased that so many of you can only see the result of administration over flair and imagination, and don't have to live through the terrible experience, of watching...

WOW ! 113 responses !!. Not everyone is agreeable after all. Keep it up. All that is missing now is some action, instead of words. Don't be afraid of disagreement { and Debate } about what action. So, keep it up Gals and Guys. Afraid I won't be able , after a recent diagnosis and consequent...

Didn't notice that.. It is a bit weird, yes??

Yes -- Got it thanks.

"Although rejected for sanctioning at the time, Glenn Allison bowled the first ever 900 in sanctioned competition on July 1 1982, without the benefit of modern bowling balls or lane conditioning methods. There is no doubt that Mr Allison's series would be sanctioned if bowled under modern lane...

The ruling is a bloody disgrace.

I can't find the alphabetical list of members which used to be available. Can you guide me ? Thanks. Jim Cross.

Yes Rob - been there, but doesn't open to the alphabetical list which once was. Just leads to four sub-groups, being Notable Members - Current Visitors - Recent Activity & New Profile Posts. My comp ??, or still me? - By the way, I'm a bit deaf too.

I can't work out whether I've gone blind, or senile ? There used to be a list of members available. Anyone ? Help?? Can't find it.....

Very innovative way to advertise, Jason. Very clever. Congrats. Jim

What's the difference between a dream and a nightmare ? Both appear to be fantisies. Yes? What's the difference then, between the olympic dream and the olympic nightmare ? Both still fantisies. Nothing solid to touch or feel, no matter which one we throw barrow loads of money at. We...

All of this only goes to prove, Peter, that investing time - money - whatever, instead of lying in the sun, or smelling flowers, or buying the cheapest 'first drill', strike-in-a-box ball that you can find, is a far,far better thing you do than try to improve the sport. By The Way, I remember...

Being a Right Hander, I'd have terrible trouble with the 10 pin, considering where the ball return is. Decided not to buy it !!!!!

I would love to enlarge your avatar but when I did, all I got was a heap of pixels. How about the avatar pointing to the large photo so we can see who is in the background? I would probably recognize some of them. Best I can do, mate. I think it's early '63.The 'photo is a 'still...

Welcome back, bluey. Always enjoyed your posts.

Thanks Steve, I'll see how I go. ( pretty optimistic ) That loss of our history at the ATBC / TBA changeover was an absolute disgrace which reflects no credit on anyone. I find it totally disgusting. Trouble was that it was apparently only a handfull of people who knew that there was a problrm...

I've had a very clever suggestion.The Australian National Library in Canberra. Been on the website and they have a quite surprising amount of stuff on Tenpin Bowling, including issues of the "Tenpin Bowling Magazine "starting in 1961. It's very logical that they would have published results of...

I'm pretty sure that this will turn out to be a pretty silly question......but............ if you don't ask, you don't get. I bowled in those Nats, at Rushcutter, probably in all the events available. Can't remember much about them except that I met my wife there.(still together ) Now comes...

Geoff, I agree with everything you say, and for the ATBC to have gone on, preserving those " good old days " would , and should have happened. The great, great majority of ATBC members, volunteers, officials and staff supported and worked selflessly for the good of the organisation and it's...

OK. That 'explains' :(:rolleyes: ?? 'man' Now what do we do with 'boy' and 'girl' ??

Roy - funny isn't it? What a wierd artical...........There was a time ( probably Neolithic ) when people easily recognised insanity in those around them. Today they attract a following. Reminds me of " All the world is mad, bar thee and me. And there are times when I have doubts of thee." Jim

Looking through the categories, I find that I have no problem working out who can enter, say, "Senior Male Five Man Teams"' but I'm having a bit of a problem working out the eligibility for " Senior Female Five Man Teams". Anybody ?

Steve, what I believe I can write about this is somewhat restricted. I could talk much more freely should we ever meet. I have retained no records of the events of the time ( after a couple of moves ). Additionally, my memory is not as sharp as it once was. It all started when I was elected to...

Hi Steve, got to go to Brisbane shortly. Get back to you - probably to-morrow. Regards....Jim.
