From The Centre Manager : Jessica Grant
Well the last month has been another active one for bowling, and the centre in general! Well done to both our Women’s and Men’s Mid-Country bowling teams. Both teams had a fantastic result in the Wagga round of the mid-country tournament, with the men moving closer to the top rankings, and the women maintaining their strong place in the competition! Congratulations to Anthony Woodward and Erica White for their fantastic performance at the recent TBA National Disability Championships, with Anthony ranking 4th in pool B and Erica ranking 42nd in pool B. This was a fantastic effort from a huge amount of entrants! Everyone will have seen the new menu, and we hope you are all enjoying it, especially the addition of Fiesta Fridays! If you think you can handle the heat, come, sign your life away and try the El Toro Burrito or Cartel Wings challenge!!! We look forward to the Riverina Open being held this weekend, a multi-pattern tournament that will challenge all, bringing bowlers from all over to experience what Wagga can offer! Good luck to all the Wagga Bowlers trying their luck this weekend. We wish you all the best!! We are also playing host to the Eastern University Games 2015 from July 6-9. This event will bring hundreds of university students from up and down the eastern seaboard to Wagga, and we look forward to welcoming them to Wagga Bowl!
