Ok so it's cold and wet out at this time of year, so why not do something inside. Tenpin bowling.

 

My local centre will let us ( as many as posible) have the run of the place on a Sunday. To run our own fun tournament.

 

This would go by way of three games per person,

 

1st game as a practice,

 

2nd & 3rd both added togeather to make a total pinfall

 

Then say the top 5, play off in a final

 

This would be open to the hole family with small prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd also for top game by a man, laddy & say under 14s

 

The place has a large bar, food, games and a huge carpark

 

The tournament would be held at the David Lloyd Lanes in Enfield, North London.... 3mins from J25 on the M25 and 10mins of the North Circular up the A10

 

We could have most any Sunday. The cost would be £10.00 for the three games, This would cover the cost to the centre and a little for the prizes based on 20 or more people

 

So how about it?

 

I just need to know when and how many?

 

Chris...

bit of a trek for us northerners.

Dont worry Paul I can handle Stu!!

 

I play off a 190+ average.. But I will not be playing, just running the thing..

 

Yes I know it is a long way for a lot of you, but it would be good to get as many guys and gals togeather as poss. and its a day out for the hole family..

 

Chris..

I haven't played since myself & PaulC played which was about 6 months ago at least. But Love the game so will be up for it.

Yeah no pro's allowd Chrissy :), you just watch and give me tips :D :D

I may even come if i can get a sunday off work

Good. Some interest..

 

Ok I need to know a date?

 

What about the middle of March? That will give you all a chance to get out and have some practice.. I will state again that this will be a fun day!! and open to the hole family and friends...

 

Chris...

sounds good to me chris!

I might be up for this with the family depending on start/finish time.. What time were we thinking about?

I think we should have a family challenge as it's seems like a family day out.

 

The average score for each family

Can i have the Inflatable thingy's that you put in the gutters as i might struggle a little, me being on crutches and all..........LOL.

 

Rich:)

OK if we are going to go with this we would need around 20 people.

 

Date is the 14th March.

 

It would be a 1,o'clock start so be there by 12.30

 

Three games would take about two hours, with another half hour for the final.

 

A few words and some prizes to finish, so all over by about 4pm

 

Right thats my bit so if you lot wont to do this I need to know at least two weeks before so that I can get things sorted

 

Lets face it, It's better than standing around in the cold, in some pub carpark.

 

Chris..

im up for it, no family though lol

 

i average about 150 but i only play once or twice a year. Highest i scored was a 184 I think :)

Excellent I'll be there :)

Show off :D

 

I used to play a couple of times a month and could onlt average about 120. 183 is a fantastic score...

Sounds like a laugh.........count me in!

 

HOLD IT!! I'll be on holiday.

Yeah, I'll be up for some of that! I'm pants though

I'd go if anyone is able to pick me up from oxford direction, it aint far but the trains are pants on this route :mad:

If this is a GO then I'll book it in.

 

If we dont get the 20 people then I'll just do a fun thing for who turns up..

 

Oh yeah, High game in league play 290.. thats a wobbly 9 spare in the first frame then 11 strikes!!!! Highest three game set in league play 728.. thats an average of 242.6.. But dont worry, cos I aint playing!!! Well I might play but only to make up the numbers..

 

Chris...
