And it is going to only get harder, with the recent announcement from TBA that all sanctioning fees is going to go up.
and kevvy
based on your theory, why dont they move a motion to make the competition even stronger, by cutting a few extra teams loose
until they allow every sanction country resident in the state bowl, it will always be a club. thats what we've been calling it for a few years now
ooops, i didnt quite interpret that right, i meant....... every country resident in the state, plus the one over the northern border, but not the ones over the western border
what makes it worse is that the TBA endorse this as being fair for all its members, even the ones who pay the same sanction fee, who dont get the same privillages as the privillaged people

For the amount that we got from TBA (and I agree with your interpretation of consistency) for sanctioning to go up, is a discrace.
They would be better off lowering the fees, giving a little back to the bowlers, and getting more involved with the average bowler.

David on another post I said that if they made all the centres make all the bowlers pay rego it would not need to go up.
Then you have to ask if all the bowlers are not paid members how are the leagues all sanctioned and are the bowlers that make the teams eligible if the leagues have players that are not members.

So if we didn't get anything for $12.50, is the mentality to charge us more.
I don't mind paying if we get something, but from what I have heard is not much will change, EXCEPT to pay more.
If I am wrong, and it is attractive for the average bowler to sanction, then great. But on the TBA website it is a blanket increase, without any particulars.
Seems that the TBA just need more money and we are the mugs to have to cough up.

if the can is empty
when you tip it upside down, nothing comes out
no matter how hard you bang it
bowling is this country has been banging an empty can for way too long
i got a mate who pays $90 a year to race remote controlled speed boats and gets not much value for it, other than being able to race, he outlays 2-3k on his boats a year
we pay $20 and expect the world

Therefore we pay the money in the hope that they will do something with it.
Sounds real smart to me.

Yes you are right Mindi, it has gone off topic, so I will just make one last comment.
Gillian (TBA CEO) actually came and spoke to all present at the Holt AGM in Adelaide. I guess a lot of bowlers who have been around for a while have developed this attitude of "The tune is different but the words are still the same". Who can blame them though. The newer bowlers seem more open minded.
Gillian seems to be trying to head in the right direction and appears open and honest. She has taken on a HUGE task with little resources and facts. One thing she did discuss was membership fees amongst a whole list of other things.
These things won't happen overnight and I for one am willing to listen to her and give her the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully she will get the sanction fees right and we will be on the right fee structure to benefit the sport.

Leave it off topic, the other one has been done to death about 100 times!
1 dollar a week for a little hope, I'd pay double that, and I don't need anything back apart from the continued opportunity to bowl state and national championships if I so desire.
