We are holding a “Kingpin 3 from 4 Junior Doubles Tournament” which will be held over three weekends in October 2011.  The dates are as follows:

• Sat/Sun 15th/16th
• Sat/Sun 22nd/23rd
• Sat/Sun 29th/30th

This will be a Junior handicap team event and teams will bowl four team games then drop their lowest team game to give a total score with handicap.

It is anticipated that the first prize will be in excess of £500 (based on 50 teams).  We have tried to keep the entry fee costs down and also kept the event as a re-entry event.

The entry form is available by clicking HERE or from the Talk Tenpin website at http://www.talktenpin.net/

For those who didn’t get the opportunity to come to the last one:

• Its a great try before you buy day
• You get the opportunity to try out predrilled bowling balls out on the lanes
• There is no obligation to buy, but there are usually discounts on the day

The last event was very well attended and most bowlers received great free advice from the American Bowler and Storm representative, Pete Somoff who is intending to be at AMF Hull once again.

Once the date and time has been confirmed, the site will be updated with the full details.

King Pin Pro Shop in conjunction with Bowltech UK will be holding another try before you buy day.  It is a free event and will be held at AMF Hull, Oslo Road, Hull on Saturday 18th September between 10am and 2.30 pm.  We have been quite fortunate in being able to hold the event on a Saturday as they are usually held during the week.

There will be a good selection of reactive bowling balls available for trial from the following manufacturers:

Ebonite
Columbia
Hammer
Track

There will be a few balls of each model (usually of weights 14 and 15lbs) which are predrilled with different spans.  Interchangeable thumbs are used, and inserts are changed to get as close to the bowlers span and fit as possible.  Bowlers can then try out the balls on the lanes.  It’s a great way to see what equipment suits your game!

All enquiries should be directed to Steve Innins on his mobile number: 07960 333969

As there will be a a limited number of lanes available, trial of this equipment will be available in time slots.  Anyone who is interested in attending should guarantee a trial slot with Steve.

In aid of Leukaemia Research, Alzheimer’s Society and Guide Dogs, Katie Jowsey and I have organised a Tenpin Bowling Tournament.

EVERYONE CAN TAKE PART
It is Tenpin Bowling Tournament for both Sport Bowlers and Recreational Bowlers which has divisions for the under 10 year olds, the 11 to 17 year olds and the 17 years plus age groups, with or without the abilities to bowl.

IT IS A NOT FOR PROFIT EVENT
The Tournament entry fee, minus the lane and minimal printing costs, will all be divided equally between the three charities. We hope to raise in excess of £6000 over the whole weekend.

IN MEMORY OR CELEBRATION?
As 2010 is the 50th Birthday of Leukaemia Research as well as being 50 years since the first Bowling Centre was opened in the UK, we hope lots of people will come along and support this event, in celebration of tenpin bowling and also in memory of others who may no longer be with us.

In recognition of the best scores, many businesses have already donated prizes. From Gym Membership to Tenpin Bowling equipment, tickets to THE DEEP, signed Hull FC shirt……….
