Western Bowl

A few years ago the bowling industry had a campaign that sent portable bowling lanes, pins and balls to troops overseas.  The bags the equipment came in were signed by all the bowlers who donated money to cover the cost of the portable bowling lanes.  My nephew just returned from Afghanistan after serving there for a year (his 2nd year long deployment).  He wasn't serving in the army during those days so he didn't benefit from that program.  Dennis has always been a bowler.  He started out in the Saturday morning youth league program, bowled in the Indianapolis Teen Traveler's League and continued to league bowl as an adult.  His parents are avid bowlers (bowling at Expo Bowl bowling center), his wife and two oldest kids have also bowled in leagues.

Dennis even found a bowling center in South Korea where he could bowl.  There wasn't that same luxury in Afghanistan for people in the service.  Since returning home to Kansas he has begun bowling again.  He and his family have gotten to enjoy the sport of bowling again.

The newest campaign  hosted by Royal Pin Leisure Centers is a bowling league called "Adopt A Platoon".  Bowlers will be paying their weekly fees with all prize money going to support a platoon.  We will send supplies, goodies, games, etc. to try to make their deployment just a little better. 

Bowlers have always supported our troops.  The Bowlers to Victory Link is the bowling industry's largest charity.  Bowlers from all over the country contribute during the campaign every November and all money collected goes to local veteran's hospitals to provide recreational equipment, tvs., and furniture,etc. for visiting families. 

Homes for families of patients in veteran's hospitals similar to the Ronald McDonald houses are being built through this foundation.

Thanks to all the generous bowlers for supporting our men and women in uniform.

When my daughter Cassie turned 12 she wanted to have a bowling birthday party at Sport Bowl (which used to be one of the bowling centers in Indianapolis) She and her sister Carly had grown up in the bowling alley because her dad and I were the owners. It wasn't just a bowling party though, it was a slumber party.  We started the party in the evening and the kids bowled and camped out in the playroom.  We all slept in sleeping bags on the concrete floor.  They even bowled in their pajamas! 

It was great fun for them to bring their friends bowling as they had the run of the place.  They would bowl, fix their own drinks in the snack bar, play arcades and basically show their friends a good time.  Our offices were upstairs and they would all hang out, do their homework and spend time till we got off work.  Their friends loved going there after school.

We used to go in on holidays when no one was in the bowling center and the kids would run around, slide on the approaches and bowl in the dark.  We even took our collie sometimes. She would try to walk down the lane and all she would do is slip and slide.  Pretty funny to watch! 
 
Cassie started her work career at Sport Bowl by learning to file, stuff envelopes and do payroll.  She later was a lane attendant, counter person and even worked as cleaning crew over-night.  She and her friend Leslie were cleaning one night when the vacuum cleaner caught on fire in the snack bar and we had to call the fire department.

I can't remember what Carly started out doing but she eventually was a supervisor and bartender/waitress.  Carly loved bowling and may have have been running the bowling center had it not been sold.

Both girls bowled in our Saturday Morning Youth League and in the Teen Traveling League.
High School bowling didn't start until Cassie was out of school but Carly bowled for Perry Meridian High School.  She was on the team when they won the Indiana State Championship girls division.

Bowling has always been a part of our lives.  Carly still bowls for fun and Cassie organizes a bowling event for her fellow teachers at Lowell Elementary, and I work at Western Bowl.

Share your stories if you were a bowling alley kid or your kids grew up in a bowling center.
I'd love to hear them.

Until next time...

GO BOWLING!

Greetings from Western Bowl in Indianapolis!

On my last blog I told you about the wedding reception that was held at Western Bowl last November (11/11/11!) 

We received a nice thank you note which read;

"Western Bowl Staff,
Thank you so much for the card and bowling gift cards.  You really helped to make our day special!  Thanks, Shannon & Paul"

We want to wish Shannon & Paul the best of luck!

We've held all kinds of other special events at the bowling center over the past years.  The most recent ones have been a baby shower (no the mom to be didn't bowl), kids birthday parties, cosmic bowling events, corporate outings which are great for team building, bowling with Santa and the Easter Bunny and our Halloween Bowling Bash to name just a few.

We've also held collegiate bowling tournaments, monthly 9 Pin No Tap tournaments and monthly Texas Hold 'em Tournaments.   

There are lots of special events in Indianapolis this coming month with the Super Bowl but if you're looking for something else to do book your special event with us at Western Bowl.

Until next time, happy bowling!

Susie
Program Director
Western Bowl

During my last blog I told you that Western Bowling Center was hosting a wedding reception.  The bride and groom had gone bowling on one of their first dates and wanted to host an event that everyone would remember.
The reception was held this past Friday and was a huge success.
Western Bowl's Hall of Fame Room was draped with white tulle and white lights, tables were decorated with white table clothes and elegant centerpieces.  The comment you kept hearing as the guests arrived was that they had never been to a wedding reception at a bowling center.  I think they were so surprised at how beautiful the room was.
After a catered meal, cutting of the cake and pictures the whole party took to the lanes to bowl a few games.  The bride did indeed bowl in her wedding dress!  Everyone had a great time.
After I heard the comments from the guests, I wondered if anyone else had been to a wedding or reception at a bowling center.   I want to invite you to share your story if you have (or if you've held or attended other parties or events at a bowling center). 
I'll be watching for your comments.
Until next time...Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Last week Indianapolis was host to the Indiana State Bowing Proprietor's board meeting and seminars. One of the seminar speakers talked about how bowling has changed over the years.  For example, there are less league bowlers but more people are enjoying open play with their families and friends.  We now offer cosmic bowling, bumper bowling, fun tournaments, kid's birthday parties, live music and other events no one thought of 20 years ago.

Something that hasn't changed is that bowling centers are one of the few places where people still gather weekly (and sometimes even daily).  We have several bowlers who participate in all 3 of our senior socials and also bowl in one or more bowling leagues.
The bowling center is a place where people not only bowl but make lifelong friendships. 

Some people even meet their future spouses. Western Bowl is hosting a wedding reception this November for a couple who met while bowling. They wanted to do something really fun and different to celebrate their union and chose Western Bowl.  The reception will include all the normal activities; a meal, cutting of the cake and of course bowling.  We can't wait to see if the bride bowls in her wedding gown!

If you haven't checked out what bowling has to offer lately, want to make new friends or even have your special event here, come check us out.

Greetings from Western Bowl bowling center in Indianapolis!  It's been a long time since I blogged but I wanted to share a good story about youth bowling.

During the Month of October we held two different youth bowling tournaments.  We hosted the annual Western Shoot-Out Collegiate Tournament and our first ever High School Pre Season Tournament.

They were vastly different in the number of teams who participated.  The collegiate bowling tournament had 63 teams (40 mens and 23 womens) from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and Illinois and the tournament was held over 2 days.

Our High School Bowling Tournament had only 4 teams (3 boys/1 girls) and was held on a Saturday afternoon. 

The amazing part of this is that there was the same enthusiasm, competition and team work in both tournaments.  The kids who competed in the high school tournament bowled as if there were 60 teams.  The coaches and bowlers didn't let the fact that there was so few teams bowling ruin their experience.  They were here to bowl!

The boys team from Brownsburg High School which consisted of both boys and girls bowlers
won the tournament and received a team trophy and medals for the coach and all the bowlers.

If you think the sport of bowling isn't competitive or exciting you need to come out and watch these kids bowl.

Indiana High School bowling competition is held in one of the area bowling centers each week starting in November.  These bowlers are representing their schools just like a basketball, baseball or football team does.  Find out where your favorite school (or your Alma mater) bowls and root them on.  You won't be disappointed in the experience!

Greetings from Western Bowling Center located on the west side of Indianapolis!

Bowling at Western Bowl has been booming so far this January.  Our Saturday morning Bowlopolis Youth League started back on January 8th with several new bowlers.  We'd like to welcome them to our bowling league and to our center.  We met with the new parents, served them coffee and donuts and went over all that we have to offer their kids.  Most of the parents didn't realize that we give scholarships, offer free learn to bowl classes, participate in bowling tournaments and offer a discount card to all our league bowlers.

Western Bowl was the host center for the Qubica Family Bowling Tournament this past Saturday.  65 teams competed in 4 different divisions with entries from 5 local area bowling centers.  17 teams will be advancing to the State Finals with the chance to bowl in the National Finals this summer.  Good Luck to all the bowling teams!

League bowling has changed over the years and it's not just for the competitive bowler any more. We're offering all kinds of league packaging so that everyone can enjoy our sport.  So far this January we've started a Pizza and Beer League, an Adult/Youth league where the bowlers can receive a bowling ball or bowling pin of their choice at the end of the season. 
Combining with one of the premier events in Indianapolis, we're starting an Indy 500 bowling league. This league will bowling weekly beginning February 13th and end right before the race.  Each bowler in the league will go to the 500 race with a tailgate party prior to the start, a Trac Scan rental discount and a $5.00 gift card for retail shopping.

Kids parties in Indianapolis are a big part of our weekends here at Western Bowl. 
Parents are happy to turn the party over to us so they can just enjoy their child's birthday. 
Debbie S said "Heather was wonderful with our kids."
Alyssa B said "Great time...we'll be back"

Youth league bowling will be continued in our Summer League Program.  Bowling begins on May 8th and all bowlers in the league have the opportunity to go to King's Island at the end of the bowling season. 

All of our Mid Season Leagues have floored but we have lots of Summer Leagues to offer.  Remember that every league bowler gets one free game of bowling for each game of league bowling, all adults have the opportunity to win the Royal Pin Mustang, merchant coupons and royal pin cafe coupons will be given out each week and kids in the Saturday Morning Youth League and adult/juniors in our Generation Gap League have the opportunity to go to King's Island at the end of their bowling season.

Check out our website, email sbrehob@royalpin.com or call 317-787-3448 for more information.

Don't miss out on the fun at one of Indianapolis' Premier Bowling Centers.
