people should check their facts first aformentioned was notified by me and the reasons were that main sponsor had expressed there desire for centre which now has tournement, loss of sponsors at one centre were overwhelemed by sponsors at other centre, Also I was the person who first started the ball rolling on this tournement and was the person whom made the final decission as to were the tournement would be held all pros and cons were wieghed up and decission was made as at the end of the day it is about the bowlers and getting them the best deal IE:sponsorship at one centre is much higher in total than other centre means more return to bowlers I ask u what would you do?
Also do not blame Lance as this was not his decission I appologise to lance for any inconvieniance this may cause him and I think the people that are having a go at him should also apologise because of my decision to go with the naming rights sponsors choice of venue, as I said previously it is all about what is best for the bowlers we are not in this to make money we are in it for the enjoyment of our sport....

Dont mean to sound rude here, but you could at least be open and put a name to your post. Why hide behind a log in, and not be willing to be put your name behind your words.

That is just gutless, l am always willing to put my name to any comments l make, and if l forget to write it in the actual post, it is there for all to see under my profile.

I would just like to add to this, that l thank Brett Grinstead for putting a lot of hard ground work in obtaining the required sponsorship dollars to make this event happen.

Looking forward to it being a great event.

I would like personally like to thank all the Sponsors, and Totalbowling for allowing us to use this fantastic site to advertise this event.

Regards
Lance

Sensational to see a decent tournament coming to Dandy, Well done to Lance and Brett, and yes I've seen the amount of groundwork that went into it.
Wonder when we'll hear from the Filo Boys (Or did they lose too much money at the last marathon)
And don't forget your 20 cent pieces Leo

Throw me down at this stage. Ill confirm partners when they confirm with me. If they don't Ill try and get in with one of the other teams short of a bowler or 2.

Thanks mate and good luck with the tournament.

 

[ThEOnE]

Its good to see something get off the ground on this side of the city for us on the other side of the state. Unfortunate about the circumstances that its not at werribee but thats the way life goes. I dont think having a crack at anyone trying something different is good for anyone, but everyone has their own opinion and has every right to voice it. Good luck to Edi and Doz with the new tourny and with the family, I will be at the Marathon as its closer and is Mels birthday on the Sunday and would like to live long after that day!!!!!!!

Lance put me and Wozza down with 3rd bowler TBA.

Thanks Jason Motta

 

[Kellie]

Ok guys, I have removed some peoples post's in this thread, if you have a problem with that please feel free to priv message me, I think sometimes we all post in the heat of the moment.

You all have a right to support and bowl in what ever you like, but don't can one or the other. Use the thread for what it's purpose is for.

Thanks guys.
