I've done both over the years but still much prefer candlepin.


You may have to dust off your skills and try to bring the World
Championship back to New England.
Last year Nova Scotia took the title down in Maine.

I hope there is a future for this sport. A local lane was complaining
that it's getting hard to find new equipment and one bowling alley in
the Halifax Shopping Center didn't have it's lease renewed last year.
Seems they want to go upscale with their clientel.. such as Victoria
Secrets, a new Apple Store etc.

I haven't been bowling for years. I'd be an embarrassment to the team
and myself. My father-in-law used to be pretty good when he was a
young man. He was one of those "power" bowlers who could throw the
candlepin ball halfway down the alley before it landed.
I saw him splinter the old, wooden pins once and the owner of the
alley kicked him out.
