Oz Tenpin Shepparton

Yesterday we held our annual Bowler of the Year tournament, inviting those qualifiers from our Bowler of the Month events held throughout the year to compete in a 6 game showdown to find out who was the 2025 BOWLER OF THE YEAR!

In a close finish, our Champion is……

BRAX GRIFFITHS!!

Congratulations to Brax, who has only joined our Thursday Ball & Chain league in 2025 and is consistently improving every week!

Well done to our runner up Adam Olsen and third placed Kim McNab on their top bowling!

Look out for our upcoming Bowler of the Month events and you could be competing for the 2026 BOWLER OF THE YEAR TITLE!

Congratulations to all participants in our new all-abilities Rising Star League. They were presented with their bowling balls today and have achieved great things throughout the season. Thank you to all the services for allowing their participants to showcase their talents and meet new friends.

Why not join this new league and open you and your participant to a great social rewarding league.

Yesterday marked an incredible day of community spirit, generosity, and a whole lot of fun as our bowling community came together to host a fundraiser in support of the 12th Melbourne Firefighters Stair Climb. In just one afternoon, we proudly raised $2,002 to support three incredible charities: Peter MacCallum Cancer Foundation, Ooo Foundation, and Lifeline.

The event was inspired and initiated by Simon Morgan, who will be taking on the physical and mental challenge of the stair climb in just a couple of weeks. His commitment sparked a wave of support across our community, culminating in this heartwarming and impactful event.

A huge shoutout goes to the brave and selfless individuals who added an extra layer of meaning to the day by shaving their heads or beards in support of the cause. Well done to Hannah, Jason, Hayden, and Simon—your courage and compassion are truly inspiring.
It was my absolute honour to host this event and witness the generosity and warmth that define our bowling family. Your willingness to dig deep and contribute made this fundraiser an overwhelming success.

Special thanks must also go to the hardworking helpers behind the scenes—Sammy, Lea-Anne, Suzi, Peter, Jody, and Jason—whose efforts made everything run smoothly.
This event showcased our bowling community shining at its brightest, coming together not just for a game, but for a purpose. Thank you all for making a difference!

Here are some photos of the day and Simon also dyed his beard since we raised over $1500 at the event.
