6th Annual Association Challenge - November 6, 2010
Well, this annual event between Brandon, Dauphin and Winnipeg took place for the 6th straight year. And for the second year in a row (yeah, it sounds like bragging, doesn't it?), the Winnipeg association won the coveted plaque. Yahoo!!
The event was held in Brandon, at Thunderbird Bowl, and is a fun way for the Manitoba bowling associations to get together, have a good time, and what else, bowl!
Each association enters two teams of 4 bowlers (mixed teams) and we all bowl 5 games. The association that has the highest total pinfall plus handicap after the 5 games is declared the winner.
Thanks once again to Wanda Howard, the WTBA President, who coordinated the Winnipeg contingent, and thanks to the Brandon Association, who very capably organized and ran this year's competition.
Next year, we're going back to Dauphin!!
