The number of bowlers are well up on last year, the Australian Masters a great success.
Some international bowlers finished with Webber Cup in England 16th October - travelling to Sydney and then bowling to qualify for masters. Not having squads available was an issue that was dealt with.
The inclusion of the internationals, with support from main equipment companies, was the icing on the cake for the National Masters.
And a great opportunity to advertise the sport, demonstrate to the WTBA that Australia is capable to run future world events - the start to put our sport in Australia back on the international map.
The number of kids that came to watch the internationals, and all spectators and bowlers to these events, brought a great atmosphere.
Facilities that other overseas events have - media room, airport pickups, tour options - will be something TBA can look into.
More support in the tournament room, accommodation packages and local information to assist interstate / intrastate bowlers is also important.
So GREAT EVENT- some things to look at to encourage more internationals (who have to travel long distances), assist australian members and support the tournament team.
AND the rest of us can remember the word volunteer.
Cheers
