We want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for bowling in the County league. It’s an exciting league! We miss you already and hope you will return to bowl in this fun league next season. In the meantime, don’t become strangers, drop on in to say hi, bowl a few games to stay sharp over the summer break and try the special challenge events that will be held this summer at the lanes.

Our challenge events will give you a different look on the lanes with some easy and difficult oil patterns that will test your bowling skills. Can you cut the mustard on something besides the easy house shot that you bowled on every Thursday?
