C, hats off to you for taking the reigns of organizing this.

Might be a good idea to have a reserve activity, a feed at one of the restaurants near by perhaps, in case you are (touchwood) unlucky and don't get a lane.

Enjoy!

Constantine, if my hubby can't come I should try to hitch a ride with you, if that is okay.

No worries mate. I would say Applebees, good range of food for everyone there. And walking distance from Thunder Bowl.

Applebees is "walking distance"... :lol:

Hehehe... Apparently the heat and building humidity do not deter you from "suicide walks"... :lol:

I haven't bowled properly in years, I'd probably do better with a house ball.

Like playing pool, bowling definitely follows the bell curve of alcohol consumption.
