Hornsby Rockets travelled to Perth 29th May - 5th June, with a party of 20 members to take part in the 2010 TBA Australian Disabilities National Championships at AMF Joondalup.
They were competing against some of the nation's best bowlers and the Hornsby Rockets did us all proud with their bowling, friendship and behaviour towards other bowlers and family on every day that they played.
At the the dinner on the final night the Rockets were over the moon when the medal winners were read out - the team achieved a total of 22 medals, a really great achievement for a first time attendance at the TBA Australian Disabilities National Championships.

Tour of the WACA - a great way to spend a "day off" from bowling.
President Ron Crompton would like to pass on his thanks to all the carers who helped to support the team in Perth, to the community groups and members of the public that supported the Hornsby Rockets at funding raising events so that the team could travel to Perth. Without your support members of the Hornsby Rockets would not have the opportunity to compete at this level of bowling.
Those of us unable to accompany our sons and daughters would also like to thank Ron Crompton and the other parents and carer - Esther Bardy, Anna Peters, Annette and Ian Seymour, Jo Elsick, Robyn and Denis Wilson - for the support they gave to the whole team during their trip.
