Broni I can't get over how you say that the Melbourne Cup is 10 games it is 18 games. The consolation event on Sunday is really an extension of day one but it gives everyone who missed the cut a chance to bowl well and make more money than some of the finalists. I believe this is a much...

Hi all, Let me say that I am very disappointed with the entries in the 2006 Seniors Melbourne Cup particularly from some interstate bowlers who have chosen to bowl in a non senior event instead, our committee try extremely hard to put on the best possible event. The end result of these numbers...

WChester What you are saying has some merit, however the women are being subsidised by the sponsors not the men. If a sponsor wants there sponsorship split evenly bewteen men and women then the women will always get a better deal as there are less bowlers. However in this event we have...

As per my reply on the Seniors Forum Dear WChester Let me say that I read with interest your article about the 2006 Seniors Melbourne Cup, why you chose to write this article and not contact any member of the ATBSOV committee to check you facts which are COMPLETELY WRONG I do not know. As...

Dear WChester Let me say that I read with interest your article about the 2006 Seniors Melbourne Cup, why you chose to write this article and not contact any member of the ATBSOV committee to check you facts which are COMPLETELY WRONG I do not know. As you have NEVER bowled in the Seniors I...

Hi all, After surviving the traffic in Taiwan (the worst I have ever seen) both John and I were involved in a car accident on the way home from the airport. For those who know John,s recent history with Taxi accidents I can now say NEVER get in a taxi with John. I was a pretty...

Applications to have a Seniors event ranked in 2006 have not yet closed so nothing has been finalised. According to the TBA in 2006 all Senior events will be for 50 years and over, instead of 45 years and over as in previous years this may effect whether some events go ahead in 2006 as they are...

Here are some interesting statistics, listing The bowkers ranking The bowlers averages Number of Events bowled Taken after the Melbourne event, they make interesting reading!! Boys Team 1. Glen Loader 209.37 (9) 4. Mick Zentveld 206.07 (9) 9. Stephen Cowland 194.54 (9) 8 Matthew...

To clear a few things up regarding the $500 I suggested comes from each ranked event. Is not my intention that this money comes from sanction fees, my idea is that before a tournament can be ranked the tournament itself must put $500 into a rachuig fund before the event can be ranked. This money...

Once again I understand what you saying about Qld being a big state etc however and other reasons it is easy to find reasons why things won't work lets concentrate on reasons and ways things might work. Positives and new ideas is what bowling needs right now so lets hear some real new...

Graeme, I hear what you are saying and there is a possible answer. That is that for these "Rachuig points" bowlers can only earn points in their own state. Therefore bowlers in Qld only count the points earned in Qld events etc.

As a person who has bowled for 40 years and seen the rise and fall of rachuig as the premier event on the bowling calander, I also agree that it needs to be brought up to date to suit the bowlers of today. I now feel that to make this event great again there needs to be prize money attached to...

Hi there On your squad list you don't have John Sullivan David Jordan Stephen Bell I thought we had advised the boys from SA at the Melbourne Cup to enter us, could you please add us the the squad Thanks

I am very disappointed to read the new prizefund distribution for the 2005 Sth Australian Seniors Classic. Whilst I appreciate sponsors and the vital part they play, in the "Seniors" there is NO need to try and lure bowlers based on a large 1st prize we are all well past that sort of thing...

I am very interested in how the rankings points are going to be distributed for this event. I assume it will be after qualifying?

A very interesting question, who is Australia's greatest bowler? I read with interest your answers to this question. I have been lucky enough to play against all the bowlers mentioned and I agree that the women's section is the easiest to pick Carol Gianotti Cara Honeychurch Jeanette...

My sincere sympathy to Judy and families George Slater was everything "The Seniors" stands for, he loved bowling, he was a fierce competitor, and a great bloke. I will miss George's fists pumping when he got a strike against you and his arm breaking high five's that followed. George is a...

Sincere sympathy to Val and family on the passing of David Sorry for the delay in sending this email, In the forty years I have been in bowling no two nicer people have I known than David and Val, as many have truely stated this terrific man was taken long before his time, no man's...

Sorry about the President's Sheild I got carried away with all the other success

Sensational effort by both the Victorian Rachuig Teams, the men where fantastic (Almost as good as the Seniors) and the Women where also great, Interesting which Victorian team will get team of the year at the Victorian awards night President Shield Walter De Veer Rachuig Seniors...

I would be interested in bowlers opinion on this subject. Over the years I have bowled in Rachuig, East Coast, Dunn Sheild, Seniors Challenge. In that time I must admit that the Seniors system where every member of the team is required to bowl 10 of 21 games is a very good system. Bowling...
