President's Message
It is with great pleasure and excitement that I write to you. Over the past twelve months the interim committee of management comprising of a group of dedicated people representing all "factions" of tenpin bowling have worked together tirelessly to create a structure that will service the needs of all Victorian bowlers. This has culminated in our inaugural annual general meeting and the formation of the Victorian Tenpin Bowling Association.
This association will strive to work on behalf of all Victorian Bowlers on all levels from local, state through to National ensuring your needs our meet.
At this time, I would like to thank these people for their contribution - Jan Solomon, Allan Smith, Denece Jones, Eric Harrison, Maree Pennell, John Goldsmith, Belinda Pennell, Aline Martin, Elizabeth Smithers, Ray Rule, Simon Calder, Les Napper, Ray Morton, Bryant Stafford and Aline Martin. Special thanks to our TBA Victorian State Managers, Peter Coburn and Kathy Smith and outgoing Chairperson Steve Arundell.

Striking For Gold in Bendigo
A further step on the pathway to tenpin bowling’s goal of securing a place on the Commonwealth Games program was taken on the 18th December 2002.
Under the banner of “Striking for Gold in Bendigo” a comprehensive official bid has been lodged with the Organising Committee for the 2004 Commonwealth Youth Games, to be held in the former gold mining hub of regional Victoria – the city of Greater Bendigo.
Billed as The Centrepiece of Victoria, this beautiful city - just one and a half hours’ drive from Melbourne - has been chosen to host the second Commonwealth Youth Games, from 29 November to 4 December 2004.
“More than twenty sports are vying for the privilege of selection for the CYG program” said Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Tenpin Bowling Federation (CTBF), Lynne Clay today. “However, we have strong support of the bowling industry in Victoria and, in particular, the Centre in Bendigo and this, combined with the resources and experience of Tenpin Bowling Australia and its international affiliates, means we certainly have a good chance.
“In consultation with our colleagues from the WTBA and the CTBF, Tenpin Bowling Australia has prepared a professional and positive response to the criteria circulated by the CYG Organising Committee – no stone has been left unturned in mounting an attractive and compelling case to include tenpin bowling on their program” she added.
The appraisal process is being undertaken by the CYG Organising Committee, which is made up of representatives from the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, the Victorian Department of Sport and Recreation and officials from the host city of Bendigo. An announcement regarding the Sports Program is expected before the end of January, 2003
