MONEY-SAVING holiday deals are in full swing at Raymond Terrace Strikezone tenpin bowl, as are opportunities to join one of two new leagues that offer a new ball for participants.
For juniors, there’s a new one-game league at 4.30pm on Mondays, while for adults there’s a two-game league on Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
While these aren’t specifically for beginners, they are ideal for all new bowlers.
To this end, all participants in both leagues will receive a new ball, professionally fitted and drilled.
League bowling is very much one of the strengths of Raymond Terrace Strikezone, a centre dedicated to the essence of the sport.
Centre owner Neville Marchbank believes that league bowling is making a comeback in many areas of Australia.
Groups creating their own regular weekly competition is a fast-growing trend.
Businesses use leagues for employee bonding while various organisations use them for relationship-building and developing contacts.
A typical business league might have teams from shops and offices in the CBD.
Tenpin leagues are increasingly popular with the social committees of Over 55s villages.
As one village spokesman said: “Where else can you get fit, build friendships and have fun through friendly rivalries for $25 a week?”
“The beauty of tenpin is that anyone can compete regardless of age, even if they have never played sport before.
It’s easy to learn and a handicap system means you are competitive from day one,” Neville said.
For anyone looking to join an existing league, StrikeZone has singles, pairs and triples leagues.
There are day leagues as well as evening ones.
There are even children’s leagues and some for those with a disability.
New bowlers, particularly seniors, quickly realise the health benefits.
In the past few months, StrikeZone has actively marketed league availability, and even the opportunities for one-off fundraising days, to businesses, sporting groups and housing communities via e-mail campaigns.
If your organisation would like one or both of these explanatory flyers, just email marketing@terracetenpin.com.au.
In the meantime, bring the whole tribe in while the holiday special offers are available.
These include $6 games between 9 and 10am, and reduced prices throughout the day.
