International stars help coach local youngsters
Mike Seymour, recently inaugurated President of the new Oceania Bowling Federation (also a new zone in the World Bowling family) and centre manager Grant Eadie, had come up with the idea of asking World Cup players to stay behind one evening and help coach young bowlers.
It was a resounding success, with so many of our international players volunteering that the numbers had to be restricted.
Kylie Bromley of Wales was one of the volunteers. “What a great evening!” she said. I have really enjoyed this. I had one girl who bowls a back up but said she wants to learn to bowl ‘normally’! I hope this becomes a fixture in future World Cups.”
The common language was English and several of the youngsters who came from the tourism University close by the bowling centre took the opportunity to practise their language skills as well.
Our pictures show Kylie, John Janawicz of the USA and Alja Bergauer of Slovenia who is only 15 and younger than many of the students she was coaching!
