What i do find interesting about this post is the fact that not many bowlers have put there hand up. It would be a great honor to represent your county. I haven't seen one post here from any of the youth bowlers who attended the camp to select there team. They new it was going to cost lots. Did...

Just bring this up to the top. By now most of the guys would have been to the bank and are now thinking "how am i going to pay this loan back". Well if you have thought about donating something and haven't done it yet now is the time. Dig deep people this is for the future of our...

James Bowles last night at Keon Park 256,279, 300 835. Nice form

AMF have gone above and beyond the call for James. Raffles, Money sheets you name it they have done it. And to all the bowlers at Keon Park ( and you know who you are ) your support has been magnificent. It goes without saying the when a center has a bowler that achieves what these fine youth...

Ok great idea. Heres my idea. Have a regional shoot out ie at each center. Charge $50. Everybody bowls one game. Top 50% go through to next game. And so on till you are left with one. Regional prise fund of $100 for winner. Rest goes into kitty to pay for travel to the state winners to go to a...

Ok guys its getting near crunch time. The Youth team is heading to Coffs Harbour for a camp next week. Then home pack and off to Orlando. For most of them they would already have needed to visit there banks to organize finance. Can any of you remember when you borrowed your first large amount of...

So I am assuming you have read the criteria. 2 of the points are current rankings. And current rankings percentage how is that not current form. And if you are in form it will be obvious when you attempt the other criteria. Having just seen the youth guys and girls go through a very similar...

It is interesting that so far we have received pledges from 30 or so forum members. Concidering there are 5000 or so members this is disappointing. Lets hope that the centres the guys bowl in are supporting them. I know Keon Park has been very proactive helping James. I hope the other guys are...

Just bringing this back up to the top. So $6300. Not bad but that is only 1/8th of what is required. Still think there is a lot more out there. I hope so anyway. Phil

Tiger who!!!!!

My point exactly thanks Steve (i think) lol

Ok Guys. I know everybody is frustrated with the TBA but lets not loose focus here. This thread is to raise funds for the AUSTRALIAN YOUTH TEAM. If you have a greveince with the TBA start another thread and let your frustations out there. This thread is for fundraising purposes only lets...

And here is a further CHALLENGE. If every league in Australia ran a "one dollar sheet". How much could be raised. It just takes one person to get up and walk the lanes. It takes 30 minutes and raises $100. We have been running them at Keon Park every night for James since his selection. If...

Well if you go by the recent events with the Youth camp i think we might be on the right track. All im asking is if this will be across the board or will outside pressures force TBA into its old formulas. Dont shot me im just asking the questions. Will be very interesting to see the answers...

Hi all. Just a question but an interesting one all the same. Will the Mens team be selected using the same formula that the Youth team was selected by. That is using 10 criteria in a camp environment. Phil

I agree. When i started this tread i had know idea it was going to turn into this. For once in my life im glad i opened my mouth. ( and that is a big statement lol). I agree with Dorianna. Lets go for the max and hey if we get more than the $40000 needed it can sit there for the next...

Hi Renta Going back a few years now when Carly was bowling in juniors i had people approach me all the time asking if i could coach there kids. I wasn't a coach just a parent. Because Carly was not a bad bowler it made others think it was because of me. So what did i do. Went out and did the...

Thanks for your support guys. Now that the ball is rolling (pun intended) hopefully all the ball manufacturers/suppliers can match your generous off. I remember the old saying if you cant help your own nobody else will. (im not sure if it is a saying i heard but it sounds good lol). Phil

Hi all. I have read with interest over the last few week the pros and cons of the TBA. Whether they should send a self funded team to Orlando or not. Whether they should provide funds or not. The future of Australian bowling and how its going down the toilet. Well here is the future of...

Hi all. I have noticed from time to time the need for a post to be withdrawn for whatever reason. Would it not be in the interests of all to maybe private message the people who have posted on the topic a reason for the withdrawal. Doesn't have to be an in depth reason but a reason all the same...

Thanks Glen. Just that your last post was a bit all over the place. I agree it should be scratch. If you read back to Tonx post regarding his ambition to succeed it brings it into perspective. I have to say Tonx one of the better written posts that i have seen here in a long time. Phil

Ok So i read you post 4 times and still cant make sence out of it. What are you saying do you want it scratch or handicap. Phil

Heres a better idea. Make each team consist of 3 hdcp bowlers and 4 scratch bowlers. Each game must consist of 2 hadcp and 3 scratch bowlers. Positions 1 and 2 for the hacp bowlers and 3 to 5 for the scratch bowlers. This gives everybody a go. Might be the saving grace of junior shield. Just...

Belmonte shoots into lead in Brunswick Belgian Open, five 300 games on Thursday Bowling De Meibloem in Gent, Belgium (May 24 - June 1, 2008) Jason Belmonte, the two-hander from Australia, fired games of 246, 243, 280, 233, 278 and 233 to overtake the lead in qualifying squad 14 in the...

Agree 100%. I think you will find that a lot of the success that Victoria has had over the past few years in Presidents shield can be attributed to Junior Shield and Emerson shield. If you go back through the years and look at the allstar teams from Junior and Emerson you will find most of the...
