If you require wheelchair access to the lanes, please book well in advance and state your requirement when you make your booking, so we can allocate the wheelchair access lanes to you.

Do we require a deposit?    If there is food ordered with your bowling or your group is over 20 people we will fax you a deposit and booking confirmation form.  We do request that you let us know if you are unable to come, or have reduce numbers, so we can sell the lanes to other people. We do not hold reserved lanes after 5 minutes past the booking time.

With 6 people on the lane a game takes about one hour, 5 people 50 minutes, 4 people 40 minutes, and so on.   We do request that you arrive 15 minutes before your booking to pay, get your lane allocated and to get your shoes.  If you are late please call us - we can not hold your booking if other people are booked after you.

 

How do we do the scoring?  The scoring system is totally automatic, you do not need to do anything, the machine does it all!


What is highest score I can get?  300, this achieve by getting a strike with every ball you bowl. Check out who has achieved this CLICK HERE

Do we need to bring any equipment?  No, we provide all you need.  Balls, ramps, bumper lanes and shoes (remember to bring your socks or buy some of ours)


Why do we have to wear bowling shoes?  Bowling shoes have special leather soles that prevent damage to the bowling lanes. Also when bowling the ball correctly you slide on the approach, and your street shoes do not allow you to do this.


Is food and drink available?  Food and drink is available at all times we are open, up to 30 minutes before we close.


Can we bring our own food and drink?  Our food and drink licenses do not allow you to bring your own in to the centre.
