The Yorkton Superannuated Teachers Bowling League held its annual windup awards at the Army and Navy Club last week. League spokesman Brian Beck says the season went well with 40 regular bowlers turning up each morning. Gaps created by absentees who were away during the winter were filled by substitutes. "It was a very good year, Beck reports.
The league started in mid September and ran every Wednesday morning with warm-ups beginning at 9 a.m. followed by lane bowling at 9:30 a.m. "For that time of the morning it's a very wide awake group and a lot of fun. You look forward to getting in there and mixing with everyone," says Beck.
About seven bowlers will not return next season for various reasons. As a result the league has openings for at least seven people. There are also openings for substitute bowlers. Subs are generally considered first spots open up for new bowlers, Beck notes. Anyone who would like more information or to join the retired teachers league should contact Brian Beck at 782-9580, Sharon Pfeifer at 783-7849, Martin Phillips at 783-0825 or Pat Hansen at 786-6161.
The STS bowling league will host the provincial bowling tournament at the Yorkton Bowl Arena Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12. So far nine teams have registered, five from out of town, three from Yorkton and a team of extra players.
Beck says the members are pleased with their treatment by the staff at the Yorkton Bowl Arena. "Their staff is excellent and Colleen and Don do an excellent job down there for us."
The year went over so well, he's looking forward to next year already, Beck closes.
