A Lucky Strike at Leeds

 Wednesday 31st. January 2024.        A Lucky Strike at Leeds

Today’s adventure for the Lads would take them to an establishment in the heart of Leeds, a place they visited quite a few years ago now. Back then it brought much excitement and pleasure for them.

So it was Colin , Brian, Mark, John, Derek and Dave that would step forward once again and set foot inside this building. The building in question is the refurbished Ten Pin Bowling Alley situated in the Merrian shopping centre in the city. A suggested time of midday was agreed for the group to meet up, so after the formal handshakes it was a change of footwear for some and step up to the mark so to speak.

We were assigned lane 15, so with the scorecard filled in alphabetically Brian was first into action bowling with a rather decent bowl knocking over 8 pins , his good form stayed with him throughout our first game closely followed by Derek, the rest of us just plodding along trying to get into some sort of rhythm. Eventually things began to change as each frame passed us by with a couple of Strikes entered on the scorecard. 

It would be Brian that came out on tops for our first game with a score of over 100, well deserved Brian. Now on to our second game, maybe a different result this time round with our skills slightly improved.

Not quite the start we all expected ,a poor showing on our first frame then things began to take off with Strikes coming thick and fast for a couple of us, the scoreboard screen above us being closely monitored all the time as the game progressed, it was a close run contest in the end with only 18 points difference between us all.

With over 2 hours of thrills and excitement these two games of Ten Pin Bowling have proved to be of great significance in lifting everyone’s spirits and competitive nature. Well worth the effort. Looking forward to the next time .

Cheers Everyone.
