Title: Bowling Machine Hire
Post by: Marcussjd9 on February 16, 2009, 05:13:06 PM: Any idea's where I can find a bowling machine for my club to hire.
As close to Plymouth as possible?
I had a quick glance on the Somerset CC website and there didn't seem to be anything on it.
Any information would be welcome :D

Post by: Marcussjd9 on February 16, 2009, 06:04:26 PM: Yeah we do, Or at least I think we do.
I don't think we'd mind going somewhere to use one.
Like I know you can hire them out at universities etc.
Just wondering if anybody could help me find somewhere close to Plymouth that offers this.

Post by: SillyShilly on January 26, 2010, 01:38:48 PM: Sounds like a good plan - better get Oliver practicing how to feed a bowling machine quick as I'm not sure my contract covers that type of work.

Post by: kenbriooo on January 27, 2010, 08:34:26 AM: My club has 2 bowling machines - hypothetically how much would you be willing to pay to hire one and someone to man it?

Just outta interest to see if it was a venture my club could take to recoup some of the money it paid out on them
