Resource Roundup By Mark Munger
Fun activities abound at Bonnyman Bowling Center As temperatures start cooling down, the Carolina Coast bowling leagues start heating up. Skip Merryman from the Bonnyman Bowling Center is the authority on all of the activities at the Bowling Center aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. RR - How many different league options are available, and how does someone get signed up for a league? SM - Traditional leagues for adults and youth are currently underway with intramurals just getting started. Shorter programs set up for a varying skill set and levels of competitiveness will run throughout the year. These may include “Learnto-Bowl” clinics, “Have-a-Ball” programs and Sport (with more difficult lane conditions), challenges. Look for future bowling tournaments, such as the fun No-Taps and more traditional competition such as scratch.
RR - Is the Bowling Center available for unit functions? SM- Absolutely. Whether it is a small group or an entire unit, call to see how to make your event a success. Any one of the staff can assist in scheduling an event at the Bowling Center. Simply call 451-5121 for more details or visit the website at www.mccslejeune.com/bowling. RR - Can birthday parties be scheduled at the Bowling Center and if so, what types of packages are available? Are children allowed at the Bowling Center unattended? SM - Yes, you certainly can schedule birthday parties. We are currently revamping our birthday packages, so please call the center to get the latest details.
