🇳🇱 | SEMINAR TOUR | 🇧🇪

Following the success of our seminars earlier this year, we are continuing our mission to share our knowledge and expertise with others!

Over the past few days, we visited several bowling centres in the Netherlands & Belgium for a series of informative seminars together with pro bowler François Lavoie and Matt McNiel, International Technical Director at Storm Bowling.

During these inspiring sessions, bowlers and Pro Shops received professional advice, practical tips, and personal guidance. Thanks to the support of our experts, the enthusiastic participants and the welcoming venues, we can look back on another series of successful events!

We would like to thank everyone for their attendance and active participation during these sessions. 🙏
