Full result books will also be available from the TBA National Office shortly thereafter.

Victorian Tenpin Bowling Committee of Management – over the past 6 months the Committee of Management have been formulating a new state structure in line with recommendations from TBAL. We have created a new constitution, which we plan to implement shortly. This will culminate with our inaugural AGM towards the end of this year. You, the bowlers, then get a chance to have your say so keep an eye out for nomination forms.
17th Asian Tenpin Bowling Championships – the Australian team travelled to Hong Kong late last month to contest this event. Three Victorian men (Paul Trotter, Anthony Flynn & Mac Stewart) formed part of the 6 person men’s team for this event and performed well on the varying conditions laid down for this tournament. In total we came home with three bronze medals from Women’s Singles (Cathy Elwell), Men’s Teams and Women’s Masters (Katie Wilton).

The team fly out on the 31st July for a coaching camp prior to the commencement of this event. The Championships commence with the Opening Ceremony on the 4th August 2002. I’m yet to find a web page for this tournament, however, once I do I’ll pass on the link.
