Congratulations to Ash on yet another fine performance in taking out the VIP over the weekend. Another excellent victory for you and everyone could see how much it meant to you. Well done also to Droo who bowled extremely well for both days.

This has been a great tournament and I was very sad to hear the news that it will be the last. Thank you to Paul, Colin and everyone involved in putting on the tournament - it's always been an entertaining weekend and a very popular one. Thanks to all those the sponsors as well that have enabled us to have such a great tournament on our state calendar.

Once again this was a great tournament. Paul's and Colin's organisation and management of the event is fantastic, their assistants who put their hands up so high to help out are magnificent - all of you.

To the people of Tasmania who have made me and our company so welcome over the past 18 months, I can't thank you enough.

To our team members Ashley & Andrew - what more can I say. Great bowlers who deserved to play off, but more importantly - great blokes. You are a credit to not only yourselves but your families too. The way you both bowled over the weekend and your obvious watertight friendship is one of the real pleasures I get in going to any event where you bowl. Love ya guys, and Ash - thanks mate !!!!

Congratulations also go to our Tasmanian Junior Development Squad members, Scott Jaffray, Jack Deane, Callen Daly, Gyan Lowney, Ashtyn Kunta and Kaitlyn (Doof Doof) Commane on their outstanding performances and manner over the weekend in the graded competition. The way these kids are coming along as bowlers and people is fantastic testimony to themselves, their coaches and their families - it is an absolute pleasure to have you on board. Watch out Rachuig in a few years time, Tassie will be the side to beat.

Zoltan and Alen both showed tremendous sportsmanship and very good bowling and were worthy finalists in the graded section and Kassey Fechner's performance Sunday morning and in stepladder was awesome on 5 minutes sleep !!

Once again, congratulations and thanks to everyone involved, this is a great tournament run fantastically well by great people for great people.

Couldnt agree more with what both KC and Max said.
Although I was bowling like an absolute bellend the tournament was great, thanks to Paul and Colin for their organisation. Job well done guys.
Congratulations to Ash on taking the title. You bowled incredibly well, a pleasure to watch.
Well done to Droo as well for such a great performance over the entire weekend. Bowled like a deadset champion, just a pity he didnt realise that the finals is not the place to bowl your low game of the event.
An honourable mention goes to KC as well...best performance on no sleep [literally lol], that Ive seen in quite some time...who needs sleep?

It was a great weekend spent with great people.
Thanks to everyone who made it possible.

Jen.

Just want to say congratulations to Ashley and Zoli on their wins, commiserations to Androoo, threw it way better than anybody the entire weekend on a very touchy condition but just couldn't get over the line in the final.
I threw it plain bad all weekend, ended up 14th, was probably blessed to get that high really, chucked a 5-bagger in junk-time at the very end to pinch the last cash spot by a few pins over Slug Gourlay.
To Colin and Paul, thankyou for all your efforts over the past five years in making the VIP Classic a wonderful event, one that I've certainly enjoyed bowling in, and one that has been very well liked by spectators and bowlers alike throughout that duration.
Thankyou to the sponsors, VIP, Roberts-Don Mac and others for your sponsorship of the event.
Thanks to the army of helpers who ran the behind the scenes stuff, Julie, Christine and Shaun.
Thanks also to Max & Jen for making the trip down, was great to catch up with you guys over dinner on Friday night, sorry I wasn't my usual chatty self, but I'm sure you understand.

Hopefully in the coming years a tournament of the same stature will be around for all players to enjoy participating in.
