From the TBA May 2012 Newsletter (pp 7 - 8):
Hobart will showcase a week of bowling action from 23rd June as bowlers and their supporters from all around Australia travel to Tasmania to compete in the 7th TBA Australian Disability Tenpin Bowling Championships at AMF Moonah Bowling Centre.
Almost 200 bowlers with a disability from across the nation will compete in Singles, Doubles, Teams and All-Events categories to determine graded national champions. The Nationals will include Scratch and Handicap State Team events featuring five bowlers per team, and conclude with a Masters event prior to a dinner dance Victory Banquet on Friday, 29 June.
The latest statistics - published by the Australian Sports Commission in its Participation & Non-Participation of PWD in Sport and Active Recreation 2011 Report - highlight tenpin bowling as the organised sport of choice and leading the top ten participation sports in the country for people with a disability.
A party pf Hornsby Rockets competition bowlers and carers are going to the Nationals in Hobart - you can just see one of them, Declan O'Connor, in the centre of the bottom row of photos in the TBA Newsletter's notice, above.
