WE'VE MOVED

Hornsby Zone closed shop, so we had to move. We now bowl at Rooty Hill.

And since Rooty Hill is not Hornsby (I asked), we changed our name to The Rockets.

And launched a new blog (Hornsby is inextricably in this blog's web name).

All new posts are now at https://therockets10pin.blogspot.com/

New Year, New Home!

With Zone's decision to close down their Hornsby lanes at the end of January, the Rockets had a decision to make: Fold the tent up completely, or move to another alley, albeit one not as convenient as Hornsby Zone.

So we moved.

The Rockets are now at Rooty Hill bowling alley at the Rooty Hill RSL, Saturday mornings, every fortnight.

Big new alley, same fierce, competitive spirit. Pop by and say hi, if you get a chance.
