Chairperson’s message
Tenpin Bowling Australia has now completed a restructure of staffing and services which will allow us to compliment our Australian Sports Commission Funding and provide additional services and development.
I would like to welcome Anna Paterson as a new Executive Assistant with major events expertise to our team. Anna’s role in the organisation will be to turn all of our existing and new championships into events, which will gain a higher profile for the sport and to source additional income for TBA. Anna will be situated in TBA’s office at Beenleigh. Our new staff member has a busy six months ahead assisting with High Performance Camps, Adult Nationals, Youth Challenge and the inaugural Tenpin Bowling Awards Night.
TBA Website
Bowlers are reminded that the website is operational and offers some information for everyone which may save you a phone call or having misinformation. Peter Coburn, the Manager for Metropolitan Victoria, is our “webmaster” and Lynne Clay co-ordinates all information to be placed on the site. Remember www.tenpin.org.au
We have just transferred from one server to another and anyone who has sent emails on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th August should resend them in case they were lost in “cyberspace” during the transfer.
