Must be from before they bowled their 3858, think Welu had gone to the Falstaff beer team by then.

That's a great video! Interesting to watch...

I wonder why they outlawed 9 pin bowling???

Nice one Wayne. Thanks for sharing that. I loved seeing those timber lanes and pin decks in such beautiful condition. And that fresh-faced rising star Dick Weber!

Ninepins was played in alleys out the back of bars (hence the term "bowling alley") and was gambled upon heavily. Match fixing also led towards it's ban in the 19th century.

Ah the Flying Eagle, what a shot. Would love to try that one day...

Thanks for that Jason, i've added that to the bank of useless, trivial things, aka my mind!!
