Jonsy I love your all embracing comment that "synthetic approaches are not as good as wood and that's all it will ever be". Thats not what I said what I said is right now I prefer wood over synthetic because in my opinion they are more reliable and consistant. I don't remember sayiny thats...

Jonsy Sorry mate I can't agree with you on this one. The difference in synthetic approaches from bowl to bowl are miles apart and whilst there are some good ones there are also some shockers. Synthetic approaches can tend to be fast in one part of the approach and then super slow (sticky)...

I would like to add to this discussion on wood v synthetic, Firstly let me say that there should be no centre built with synthetic approaches. No one can convince me that synthetic approaches are as good as wood. As a tournament director with wooden lanes and approaches there were always...

Jonsy I am having a "Coffee" with Dave Jordan at present and I showed hime the emails regarding the Blacklock $10,000 Here is an insight into bowling back then, Dave was only a "kid" and he thinks Carl Harris won the tournament. Dave won a trip to watch the event and be the driver for all...

Jim With that type of average 254 the format must have been a combined triplex, 369, handicaped, no tap event only joking great shooting

Thanks for the update, You are right it was the National All Star I was getting confused with and all these years I have thought Gary Burling won the event. My appologies to to the great Joe Velo.

Jonsy I have been thinking about this tournament in 1963 I am sure that Sully & I went to the tournament as IBA Junior repsresentatives. Also what year did Gary Burling win the Blacklock at Mentone Bowl. Keep it going Belly

Also while we are looking up old bowliong centers can you tell in which order these were built Plaza Lanes, Squash Bowl, Caulfield Hawthorn

Mr Swan Could you please put me in B Squad Belly

I remember bowling pot games at St Kilda bowl all night will I was still at school. I am sure they were AMF could you check. Jonsy you will remember St Kilsa and Joey Kang the bookmaker

Tony What have you done. I thought we had something going. Congratulations I hope we can still be friends. Well done Susan: confused:

Bob Congratulations mate on a great performance, sorry the Bullbogs were beaten by the Saints. There is a photo on the TBA web site under the results and I have a couple of others if you woulfd like me to send then to you Belly

Steve Apart from the Hawks great win today, here are of my thoughts regarding a possible NBA (National Bowlers Association) What you are suggesting as we well know should have happened many years ago. If it had the bowling scene today would look very different. To learn from two other...

Paul Unfortunately I had to pull out of Canberra so I was unable to discuss this with you. The TBA have formed a sub-committee to look at all issues to do with Tournaments, Team selection, Ratings points, etc, I am on that sub-committee and I will put this issue on the agenda when we...

Please add me to B Squad, I have rung the bowl with my deposit Thanks Stephen Bell

Hi its Belly here I can get into the spreadshhet but you need to click read only if you get an error message. Where is the final sheet!!!!! Steve Bell

"RAT" You were a great bowler, a great bloke and and a great mate. Bowling will not be the same without you. To Karyn and family my deepest sympathy goes out to you for this tragic loss Stephen Bell

Firstly to JWhitty whoever you are I wish I had five years to wait but seeing I am 57 and bowled in the last three Australian Seniors teams I may be old enough already. Peter I am glad you brought up my withdrawn notice of motions. I think that it would be good for the SPORT if both the TBA...

Peter, I have read your response and as long as consise as it was I think there may still be a bit of TBA left in you. In answer to your points I shall try to respond as an Over 45's member. 1. You are quite correct that in 2006 there are 6 events listed and whilst the ATBSO state...

I believe I witnessed Australian bowling history being made last night. Bowling in the famous UDL Classic Sincles League at forest hill's last night I was playing John Sullivan "Mr Magic to those over 50" His three games series was 851 no record you say!! His games were 300 - 300 - 251 = 851...

It is time for the ATBSO to stand up and be counted. The current state of “Seniors” tournament bowling events, ranking points and the way the over 45’s bowlers are being treated by the TBA is completely unacceptable and the time has come for the ATBSO and its members to make at stand. Several...

Congratulations Jagga!!!!!! Sorry I was not there to see a "Leftie" win, will catch up with you in Tassie, congratulations once again Well Done Belly

I am shocked to read about the passing away of Ann Lenton. Doug all my thoughts are with you in this extremely sad time. Steve Bell

Dear Wchester With all due respect to you I don't think Australian bowling needs you as their "watchdog", everthing that you say I find negative and boring. I feel you would be better served by helping the American scene and leaving us Aussies to fend for ourselves .
