Tenpin Bowling at Collier Row.

Tuesday 10th September saw six of us at the tenpin bowling alley at Collier Row. Our “Nifty fifty” tickets cost £10 each and included unlimited play and a free drink.

A fun time was had, helped by the idiosyncratic machinery which handed out bonuses with gay abandon. Richard had a strike without throwing a ball and scores of 8 became spares a few times. But Peter Bianchi’s score in one game of 158, although helped a bit by the machinery, was well earned. Nobody came near that, Richard coming closest with 132.

We played three games and then Peter and Annick had to leave. The rest of us had one more game but we were tiring. Despite this, Richard had his highest score and three of us reached 100.

Overall total scores for the first three games were: Richard  353; Peter  347; Cathy  296;  Brian  294;  Kathy  289;   Annick 205.

Scores for the last game were: Richard  132; Cathy  101; Brian  100;  Kathy 80.

Four games, taking over three hours, and a drink for £10! A bargain.
