There has been a number of posts on this website regarding my position and future with TBA. I'd like to thank Jase for removing these so that I can make the following official announcement (apologies to Steve Jones and Andrew Shinnie).
It is with much regret that I must inform all tenpin bowling stakeholders that I have tendered my resignation from the TBA Board efective as of the 2006 Annual General Meeting on the 13th May 2006.
This decision has not come lightly as I have endeavoured to give it my all as a director, chairperson and to the sport that I will forever feel very passionate about. However, due to increased and excessive (paid) work commitments I can not give this position the due time and commitment that it deserves.
Through this position I have committed 40-50 voluntary hours per week to the sport over the past 5 years. This has been at a personal expense of approximately $150,000 per annum in lost wages, cash and services to myself and my family. I have traditionally been away from home for up to 5 months of the year over this time. I have seen the need to re-arrange my priorities, instead of putting bowling first, as it is now time for me to start working towards building on a nest egg for my retirement.
We have received four very good nominations for Board directorships this year to be voted on at the upcoming AGM. I feel that whoever gains a
position on the Board this year will be a very valuable asset to the company.
I would like to thank the TBA Board, Alex Popov, TBA State Managers, proprietors and all stakeholders for their support over my past 3 years as Chairperson and the 2 years before that as the Victoria TBA State Manager. The future looks bright for TBA with new governance and operational policies in place and with a positive move forward to a full membership model in 2007.
I will continue to bowl and help the TBA Board, TBA CEO, the TBA office and all stakeholders in anyway possible, subject to my availability. I will also continue looking after the TBA website and be involved in the co-ordination of the national championships. I certainly look forward to catching up with my extended bowling family at these events well into the future.

PS I have tried to personally inform key stakeholders either in person or via email of this decision. Please accept my apologies if I missed some.
