Bowling at Newport Megabowl - November 24th 2001

(Click on a picture for a bigger view)

Saturday 24th November we were challenged to a 10 pin bowling "competition" by the Triumph Sport Six club.

We played across three lanes with 3 players from each club on a lane. There were 19 players in all, so Mark And Chris Jones shared the bowling between them because we had a limit of 18 on the lanes.

Several of the Triumph owners club seemed to have done a bit before, but our secret weapon was Ray from the Western region who played a blinder (as opposed to playing blind like some of our other players).

The NOISE in the bowling centre was amazing, but there was a great atmosphere and everyone had a good, if frustrating, time.

Our "ringer" Ray was awarded the highest score certificate and we won't embarrass anyone further by naming the winner of the lowest.
